Good evening everyone!

I'm new to the forum, and was banded on May 6th. Already I'm realizing that this is harder than I thought it would be, but I'm willing to do what it takes in order to make it successful. I'm looking forward to working with you, and am open to any suggestions that anyone has in order to help the process along.

Wanted to check in and see if my "ticker" was working!! Surgical consult on the 12th!! Woo! Hoo!

This is a difficult thing however the benefits out weigh the struggle. I had a horrible first ten days. But I am loving the new me. I feel better about myself. You will wonder if you made the right decision during the first day but when you start to see the weight coming off you will be like why.didn't I do.this.sooner. this is not.something you take softly. You give it your all and you will love the results.

Welcome to the forum. I agree this is not a walk in the park!

My surgery is in 2 days. I don't want to think about it too much because I freak out easily. Congrats!!! You got banded on my oldest 5 year old daughter's bday. The beginning of a new life. I'm expecting the worse and hoping for the better. Good luck on your journey. Keep us posted on ur progress.
