Hi to all you bandsters. I will be getting banded in about 5 weeks. Not sure of the exact date yet. Pre-op is June 7 and surgery about a week after.

My doctor is Dr. Paresh Rajajoshiwala here at The Wish Center in San Antonio. I have heard great things about this center so I am extremely excited.

I started a 6 meal diet high protein/low fat this past Thursday and have started changing my eating habits now to be prepared after surgery. Not looking forward to a liquid diet but I'll do what I have to do.

I have read so much on this web site and feel very much reassured about the choice I have made.

I want to say Thank you to all of you for sharing, you have kept me informed and I'm sure that will continue.

Hope to hear from ya'll--I'm excited to start this adventure in my life with a great web site like this one.
