I have to say that since I found this web site, I have been reading and reading and reading. I am due to be banded in less than 2 months and the closer I get, the more spooked I get. I know I am doing what is right for me and reading your stories has helped me. I see that most of you have added pictures and weight chart and things. My step-son will be home from the airforce in Aug, i'll get him to give me computer 101 so I may jazz up a bit.

Again thanks for all your imput

Welcome Rainbow. Keep reading, reading, reading. Post and ask questions, too. The more informed you are, the more confidant you will be and in my opinion, the better you'll do. You'll be on the losing side before you know it.

Good luck,

Welcome to the site. I found this about 2 months prior to surgery. I was just banded last Tuesday and I couldn't live without this site. It is great. You learn so much about how others are doing, handling surgery, problems, issues, good news, etc. Keep looking at the site and good luck with your surgery. I feel great 5 days post op and down 5 lbs.
