Hi All,

I am a future bander from Alexandria, Egypt. I have set my operation date for March 1st 2014. I am so determined for this to work as I consider this my last chance. I am 29 and hope this will assist in shedding off the pounds quickly. Will keep you updated as we get closer!

Cheers

Oz

You're so young , this is not your last chance, but the best!

I was banded at 59, mine was the last chance..

I wish you the best luck

Welcome....and congrats!

Do you live here in the States or are you having your surgery in Egypt? Best wishes to you on your journey.

Welcome! I'm excited for you!

Hi Oz! Your age will definitely be an asset for losing weight, and your gender, too. Congratulations on this decision to turn your health around. I am three months out and thirty pounds down so far -- one third of the way to my goal. Know that you will probably experience an excellent initial loss but then there may be a slow time while you get to the right fill, then you'll go down again. Working out will be an excellent aid to weight loss so start exercising as much as possible now or maybe you are doing that already. I think that's the magic ingredient. You are going to do great!

Thank you all for your lovely encouragement replies and I will be using you guys as my support network and will be there for you too!

Leepers I live in Egypt and I will get the operation here, my Surgeon Dr Mohamed Sharaan has already banded a few of my friends and they have all has fantastic results

THanks again y'all!

Way to go. Congratulations on your new journey.
