First off let me introduce myself. My names Brittney-Allyse and I'm 21 years old and I'm getting banding tomorrow (9.28.10) morning. It's been one hell of a two weeks but it's coming to an end and I'm ready for the next step. It's been a long process to get me to where I am, starting back in November 2009. I had everything ready and was about to set a surgery date until I got a call from my surgeon's office stating that they had found an abnormally large cyst that was to be taken care of before I could get banded. After test, doctor's visits I finally had the cyst removed and was one step closer to this procedure. Now, almost a year later my surgery date is here and I'm ready to change my life for the better. :smile:

WOW -- How exciting -- just a few hours left!! Best of luck to you. Just think, you may have already done the hardest part -- all those months since they first found the cyst. I had a scare this week that my surgery might be cancelled or postponed due to an abnormal EKG and I about freaked and quit trying, so I admire you for making it through and getting to this point. I hope you're ready to go to bed and get a few hours of sleep in before your big day. I'm 1 day and 5 hrs from my surgery -- so right behind you. I'll look forward to hearing from you when you feel well enough to post again to see how you're doing! Best of luck and prayers! Debbie

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
