I band on the first and have the usual anxiety I get when I do anything for the first time (repelling down a cliff, giving an injection, learning to drive on the the interstate in/thru Houston, Yikes!!!). But, I did manage to get through it and now can look back and wonder what all the stress was about (O.K. Houston is still a little hairy - LOL). So despite my current jitters I'm sure I'll add this experience to the 'Been there done that' list sooner or later.

P.S. I'm not real computer savvy so I'm hoping this ends up on the October 07 Bandsters site....... if not could somebody help get it there ? Thanks. Dylan

Hey Dylan, I added your name to the "TENaciousTENS ROLL CALL" and you have 4 other bandster buddies who share your surgery date of Oct 1st! Blessings and safe journey my friend!

hi my surgery date is the 4th in southhampton {England) so excited.....but nervous to , as so many people here seem to be having the sleeve or bypass. they reckon that you can fail so eaisly on the band, and they would rather pay the extra and go for the gold surgery, as they call it, but i will do my best and try hard to make it work.

I am a nervous wreck about it! I am ready for it to be the 3rd already so it will be done!
