I agree with sunshine2..go see another doctor. If they won't do it some doctor. You can do this!

I am getting banded onthe 20th and my husbands family has said the same thing. I told them get over it! I am doing this for ME! We will be just fine!!!!!!!

I did this yesterday. I met with Dr Morton (nashville) yesterday, surgery date is the 20th and I was crying in the parking lot of the hospital to my husband asking him if this is the right thing. I wonder if everyone goes through this. I know it will work, I watched my friend go thru the surgery in Feb and know she weighs 130!!!!!!!! That has motivated me more than anything!!!!!!!!

Quick question.. What is PB stand for? I understand what it is but not what it stands for.

I go meet with Dr Morton today for the first time! My surgery is dec 20th. I can't wait. I hate the pre-op diet, it it hard. I stay hungry..oh well it is worth it!

I am getting banded 12/20 by Dr Morton in Nashville Weight is 280 Goal 160. Self-pay so this sooo stressful for me but I know it will be worth it! I am also having a hard time sleeping. I think it is just anxiety to my new life!!!

I am so glad to read this. i have been doing the pre-op diet 5 days and I am so glad to know why I am having to do this. I have been sooo hungry. I have added a side salad to my dinner, nothing but lettuce and tomato to help with the hungries. Thanks for the post. Now I know

How are you doing now? How much have you lost? I am getting banded by Dr Morton on Dec 20th.

I am right there with you!!! Are you my twin? I am self-pay, my insurance excludes it and we live the Dave Ramsey way. I am getting support from everyone BUT my sister who is a doctor. She has never had a weight problem so she can't possibly know what it is like to be me. I have struggled for years. I had a friend do the lap band last year and has been very successful. She is the reason that I am doing this for myself! You will be fine. Look at it this way, when you have lost all of oyur weight then what will your nonsupporters say then?

I am getting banded on the 20th! i am so excited. Can't wait to see how we do!

Hi everyone! I am new! I am getting banded on the 20th of Dec. I am so excited! My friend did it last year and I have watched her success and am ready to join it. I would love to lose about 120 pounds. That would be awesome!! look forward to hearing from everyone!
