Hi! I'm new to both banding and blogging so I guess a B&B virgin. I am a self-pay from Cincinnati with Dr. Curry, scheduled for band on 3-14. I have to do 1 week of pre-op diet. Right now my issues are getting my head around all the upcoming changes. Does anyone else remember or have those fluctuations between, I am so excited for food to be a non focus in my life and what the heck?!! Are you crazy girl? You just gotta eat less and exercise more. Like that has been working so well for the last 20 years! I have really enjoyed and been inspired by searching this website, my new nighttime addiction.

Welcome!! I too became addicted to this place when I was newly banded.

I had all sorts of fluctuations and even at 9 months out I still have them! I remember thinking if I really needed to banded and thinking holy crap I could die and then I thought wow this surgery could really change my life and now 9 months out I can say it really has.

Sit down and weigh the pros and cons of surgery; the pros outweighed the cons in my book by far.
