Hi,how are you feeling? I am 56 and getting banded on aug 17th, that is older for sure! starting wt at banding well, now 238 and 5'1. really need to get it done.

Hi Moo, I am getting mine this next tuesday and am also very nervous and tired of hi pro shakes and such. I am exactly twice your age but I am very healthy so hope to heal quickly and get to the wt loss stuff. and the lifestyle change, over the past 18 months I have been losing wt slowly and have taken off 36lbs may your surgery go very well and mine too.

Hi Dena,Congratulations it is over and now you can heal and lose lose lose! I am getting mine on aug 17th and am so nervous, they always tell you it is a breeze and then back to work in a week, I am taking 2 wks off. may your pain go away very quickly and you heal quickly without any complications.

I am going to be flying for 3 hrs each way so I am wearing a loose dress also and a stretch bra from walmart,loose undies as well and sandals. I am worried about the pain level flying home and the wait until the flght.

I sure hope you are feeling better now, I am getting banded on aug 17 and am nrevous. Are you better? did you learn what happened to cause that bleed. blessings to you.

I am getting banded on august 17th in Tijuana by Dr Corvala. I had looked into the RNY and decided against that one, I think you should not feel like failure about it at all but I do understand that feeling, as I to felt for years I could do this myself, I am now 56 and my decision is made, I want to be healthier for the last half of my life and I need this help to learn to eat less and make better choices I see this band as a tool and I am going for it. Life turns on a dime and you never know what is coming but I finally made my decision. Bless you as you make yours.

I am so nervous excited,and scared about this banding, I have been eating very light for a week and staying kinda hungry now today for 7 days I am going to follow the diet given to me and it is liquid and hi protein bars and if i must a piece of chicken, an egg of low fat cheese. I hope I survive work this week. I will have only one week off and I sure hope that will be enough. To feel well enough to return to work at that time.

I can't remember if i answered yet but going to hospital angeles,Dr Cordova, and my husband is going with me.

Oh wow, same day, I am so nervous and my husband is very worried, when I first told my girls last april they flipped so I put it off, I am going to tell them when it is over so they won't fret so much. Where are you going to have the the surgery?

Dr Cordova I believe is his name. I am getting very nervous and tomorrow I am going to start the diet that was sent to me it is hi protein low carb.

I am going to Hospital Angeles in TJ

Thank you it is hard and I hate to feel weak and go thru surgery but whatever. gotta do it.:party:

OH thank you so much emmelouwho, may yours go extrememly well too. I have been reading everything I can and trying to stay on this low carb hi protein till I get there. that is supposed to help. I am trying to drink sips of water all day and not gulp it down, thanks for responding,sure appreciate it.

Hello, I am going to get the band on august 17 in Tijauna. I am very nervous and have been thinking of it for about 18 months my insurance would have paid for RNY but I just could not do that one. To scary for me. Pray all will go well for me.:party:
