Hi Everyone! My name is Melissa and I live in Palm Harbor,FL. Had my consultation with Dr. Jessee on Monday 9/13 and my surgery date has been scheduled for Oct 6th! I'm so excited and just wanted to say how much I have been motivated by everyones posts (I've been reading them for weeks) !:thumbup:

I had my surgery with Dr. Jessee on June 30th. Her staff is awesome!!

congrats and welcome to your new journey to weight loss!! you have made the best decision and you will definitely love your sleeve!!! :thumbup:

Congrats on your surgery. Good luck and please keep us posted. :thumbup:

Hey I am also getting banded on the 6th....so excited! Congrats!!!!

Good luck Melissa. This site is very helpful. I was banded on 9/2/10 and doing well. Had a few ups and downs, but overall doing well.

I am right behind you on Oct 8th! I can't wait to join you side by side with our journey's!!

I can't wait I am behind you set for October 12th so excited.

Good luck Melissa22 and welcome to LBT forum. I learned a lot from the members of this group, too - they have such great ideas and offer to share their experiences, which I have found to be so helpful.

I was just banded on 9/17 so I'm still new to this experience. I'm currently in the post op liquid phase which I'll stay in for a total of 10 days (8 more to go). Then I'll move to the mushy phase for the next 10 days. It will be 3 weeks before I can eat and try regular food.

Best of luck on your journey.:thumbup:

Good luck on your banding :thumbup: taking a step in the right direction! If you need any support hope you pop by and come to the nice friendly people at the forums :thumbup:
