Hi all,

I'm 30 in a few days and have finally Made the decision to get banded! Nothing is gonna change that.

I'm 6'3" and 160kgs(353lbs) living in South Africa I cannot wait to be banded! My wife has made an appointment for me for next week with my GP! I love her!! Going to go discuss my options an plan it's such a relief to make this decision. . I have a strong need for this. I have been at 40+ BMI since I was 14 and although it hasn't got super out of control I have tried everything under the sun!

Now is my time to shine!

Bring on the Band I say!!

Hey all,

:-( I won't be getting banded after all :-(

They will not do Banding in South Africa, and so I have decided to go for RNY. I am a little nervous, but i am pretty sure i can handle it, i have watched a tonne of YouTube videos.

Just sad to be leaving this great Forum.

I will let you know when i am done with my Surgery.
