I am so glad you are feeling better!

Well I start my liquid diet for two weeks tomorrow. It will be hard but I'm so looking forward to the future. :thumbup:

Brian, Thanks for sharing. I totally understand how you feel. Since I put on this weight all I want to do is stay home. I'm embarrassed about how I look. When I'm with friends I don't feel like I fit in. I realize that the only one who cares how I look is me. This surgery will not take away those feelings, but I know as I lose the weight the old me will be back! I'm so looking forward to Sept 28th!.:scared2:

I am going with the realize band. My surgeon said there are few differences..but I like their website and it will be a great tool to utilize in losing weight.

My surgery date is scheduled for Sept. 28th. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start this new journey in life.:biggrin:

Just wanted to say that I'm so excited about this surgery! On July 23rd I was approved for the surgery by my insurance. It was a great 40th birthday present! I've done a lot of research and this website helps so much. I've enjoyed reading the posts. Today was my nutrition and exercise meeting. A lot of information to process. I have an appointment with the surgeon on August 23. I can't wait! Any Iowans who have been banded?
