I was banded 11/11/11 . Dont think i can forget that date that easy. Anyways im 33 years old and decided that i needed to change my life. Everyone has always asked did you try W/W, south beach diet, atkins and yes to all above plus many more. If i could follow a diet id be skinny i said but that is my DEMON. Some demons like booze , drugs mines loves the taste of food. Anyways a came here on a search for some amazing people that i can share and chat with our journeys together. If you would like to do so that would be fanastic.

Good luck too all

Hi ! I was banded on November 9, 2011. Would love to keep in touch and see how one another is doing and give encouragement when needed.

Stacey Diederich-Speager started a PRIVATE facebook page for people banded in November. Send her a friend request and let her know you were banded in November and she will add you. It has been very helpful to us all. We are all going through pretty much the same things, pretty close to the same stages & it's so nice to talk to others going through the same things, so you don't feel so crazy! It's been an awesome tool for my journey. If you choose not to join this FB page, feel free to message me anytime.

I was banded Nov. 3 and had my first fill today. I really have not had any problems, other than feeling increasingly hungry before my fill today. I am excited about this new life I am beginning and feel this is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

You are my band twin! I am getting banded on 12/12. If you interested in joining our December secret Facebook group in box me. It would be nice to have someone who will share my Band-day & journey with

Hi I am going to be banded on 12/12/11. I'm doing the liver cleanse now. Just trying to learn everything I can about the surgery, recipes, Protein shakes and any advice I can get. I am anxious and nervous about it. I just watched a lap band surgery online. I have read lots of messages from other banded members. I am 61 years old and weighed 285 six months ago, my highest adult weight. I weigh 268 now. My goal is 160 since I am 5'8" tall. My insurance company has approved the surgery. I have severe sleep apnea and use a c-pap machine for the past 4 months. I haven't slept good for years because of the gasping and snoring. My husband gets a good night's sleep nowadays too.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear about them. I also would like to keep in touch.

Good Luck on your journey.

Count me in! I was banded Nov. 22! Would love to keep intouch with others who understand this struggle!!! I am doing well so far! Down 17 lbs and it is so exciting!!!

I was banded 11-10-11 and had my first fill this past week! I'm feeling great and just trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat!! It's weird to be learning to eat all over again! I can really tell a difference after the fill too!

I'm new to this so I'm not exactly sure how this works lol My name is Carson and I was banded 12-6-11! I've got to say the first few days were horrible!! This website has been REALLY encouraging though and it has gotten a million times easier over the last several days! Anytime i start to get a little discouraged i come to this website and it always helps boost my motivation!! I'd love to have someone to chat with who is going through the same thing I am!! My family is very supportive but no one can truely understand what we go through except us! lol Feel free to message me or whatever it is you are supposed to do on here! =)

Good luck to everyone!!
