Hi. I am scheduled for surgery 3-18-15 and am looking for a mentor/buddy. I would love to talk to others and learn everything I can.

So excited for you! I'm a month post-op. You'll do great!

Thanks! I am really excited to get started. How are you doing so far? Has the adjustment been what you expected?

As far as the surgery I've done great. No issues at all. I'm down 41 pounds since Jan 1 when I started the prep and procedure on Jan 15. I've been sick the past 2 weeks and on prednisone and antibiotics so that has slowed my weight loss down but I've not gained.

That's great to hear! I start my prep on March 4th. I've been trying to lose a little before that starts. Your weight loss is awesome so far. Hopefully you will start to feel better real soon.

It's great that you have started trying to lose weight already. The transition to your new life won't be such a shock to your system.

Hiya honey... I'm due in for my banding on 14th March, how are you feeling about it?

I'm so excited about what the outcome will be and can't wait to meet the new me although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about the journey ahead x

Hi All

I got banded on 28th Feb (last Saturday) I feel fab. I was nervous about the surgery, I had a good cry as I walked down to the Theatre but then it's been great ever since! Honestly, start of a new me and you!!!

I'm new here too, so hello!

Thanks G, that helps set my mind at rest... Oh and of course, hello to you too!! ;0)

By the way I started my pre op on 21st Feb so in two weeks I've lost 16lbs!!! That's a great start and keeping me going!!
