Having surgery next month on Tuesday October 16th with Dr. Kuri. Kind of scary to be honest ....but I've researched him and the facility enough to know everything is top notch. My brother lost over 270lbs with the lapband and I"ve researched this forum for 2 years...so I feel at ease with this decision.

Awesome marketingdude! I will be banded 3 days later on the 19th

Congrats and good luck..

Congratulations! ! I think if you were following this forum for 2yr, you have been well educated.

Good Luck!

Congradulations!!!! That is great that your Brother lost all that weight, congrads to him also.

Another October person, congrats! I'm getting nervous, but mostly excited.

Congratulations on getting your date! Good luck to you.

Mine is oct 3rd , congratulations on your date.

I still can't believe I'm going to Mexico to get this surgery. It's the IMAGERY OF THE THING....that is hard to overcome. I'm sure many of my family and friends think I'm nutso....but that is ok (lol).

But I know where my head is at (used to run 15 miles a week and be extremely disciplined) but life just hit me....and stressed me out to a point where I've gained 90 lbs (originally 205 in 2005 and now weight 295). I'm 38 and not trending very well....AND I'M NOT PRIDEFUL TO ADMIT...that I need a tool to help reduce this weight.

Let your mercy, wisdome, courage and grace cover and guide me Lord
