I am to be banded on March 13. I am new to this site and have very much enjoyed and learned so much from all I have read from each one of you. I am interested in hearing from someone in the St. Petersburg, FL area. Tomorrow I begin my "liquid" food. Please pray for me that I do well with my surgery. Again thanks everyone...Ya'll are so supportive to each person!!

There's a thread just for us getting banded in March -

Come join us!

I am due to be banded on March 19, 2007 by Dr. Jose Rodrigez. I can hardly wait. I have been heavy to obese ever since I had my two children over 20 years ago. I have yoyoed myself to 233 lbs. and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My knee feels like I played pro ball for 20 years, I take high blood pressure medicine, I have zero energy which makes it hard to enjoy life. Let's do this once and for all! Prayers always appreciated. :amen:

Start pre-op diet: March 5th, 2007

Band date: March 19th, 2007

Dr. Jose Rodriguez ~ Acuna, Mexico

233 begining weight

I'm totally with you on this - my right knee kills me constantly. If I sit with my knee bent, it gives out when I first stand up - I'm way too young for this.

My surgery is less than a week away - this Saturday. I can't wait!

3 dayz ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The countdown is on and before you know it you will be in bandland. You will be amazed at how wonderful you will be feeling in no time at all. Congratulations on your decision and welcome to LBT!
