Banded 12/28/12 and down 57 lbs

Hey there...My name is Dean and I'm scheduled to have my Lap Band on September 11th at 8:30am. I had Gastric Bypass in 2002 and never got to my goal weight. I'm having the Band over Bypass surgery and very excited and nervous...my job this week and next is to stop reading stuff on the net. Making me have a bit of cold feet.

Where r u having surgery?

Welcome NewMe, I feel this is the best decision I've made to get healthy. I've been banded for about 3 weeks, and I only wish I'd done it sooner. Congrats on your decision and Best Wishes to successful banding, weight loss and better health. :)

Gastro, Congrats to you on your decision. Why be nervous, you had Gastric Bypass already, you can do this! Take the professional advice of your doctor, and address your concerns to him or her, that's where your best advice will come from. Best wishes to you, and keep us updated on how you're doing.

Surgery with dr bagnato macon ga

Hi Newme

I had my band just over 2 weeks ago. I am so glad I have had it. I feel it will be life changing. Being in control for once and hopefully losing weight and not putting it back on ! like I have done a million times.

I am feeling so much better already and am at a weight that I haven't seen in years.

Good Luck in your journey :) x
