Next week I'm getting banded here in the DFW area. Wish me luck! I'm nervous about it and that's how I came across this sight.

(I'm a newbie here and just wanted to say hello!! I'm sure I'll be back.)

Hey from Houston Macs99, Good luck and congrats. to you on being banded. I think there has been no one who was'nt nervous before being banded. I was but after I got to the surgi center very early that A.M. I was'nt. I was nervous but a lot excited also. I can promise you everything will be okay. We are all different in our recovery. Mine went extremley well. I am almost one month out. I have dropped 19 pounds and doing great. This is a great board. Welcome and let us hear from you. :clap2:

Wow, congrats Macs99!! Welcome to LBT! Be sure & keep up with the Texas board, the DFW folks get together for fun & frivolity often & would love to have you join us!

We're glad you're here!! Ask any questions you have, someone's bound to have something to say!

Good luck and a great recovery to you!! Let us know how you do !

Good luck. I am scheduled for the procedure next week too. I am also nervous. I have dreamed for year of being the old slim trim (high school) me. Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr. J.

As you can tell I've made it and the recovery was easy for me. No pain, no nausuea, just some head hunger. I've been out to the mall, doing somethings in the yard, and it seems that the pounds are falling off me. Guess that liquid diet before really works to kick start this.

Anyway... I'm back and ready to go!!! (and thanks everyone for wishing me well... they did pay off.)

Welcome to bandland! Sounds like you did great!
