I just got my surgery date and I'm so excited! I went in today for my 1st appt. with the surgeon, and I'll have my surgery in 2 weeks. Wasn't expecting it to be that fast, but I'm glad. Now that I've decided to have the surgery, I just want to do it asap, so yay!

Awesome! I jus got approved by insurance. Dont know surgury date yet but appt with surgeon on 2-5-08 for pre of stuff. Good luck!

Good Luck to you mel 25 and Elyssa. I'm so happy for you. I have been banded a little over a year and have no regrets. Your in for the ride of your life.

Is it really hard to follow diet after band? I have always lost and then a few months later gained back. I am looking forward to this but worry that I wont have the will power to do it!
