Congratulations Blondebander!! that is great progress!!

Did your doctor put you on a pre-op diet? If so, how much did you lose pre-op and post-op?

I am scheduled for May 1st and I am excited to "get this party started"!!!

YOu are smart to do this at a young age. You will learn new eating habits that you will carry with you for a long time. If you start a family, you will be a great role model for your children!!

All the best to you!!!

welcome to bandland and LBT.

congrats on your loss so far.

this board has been instrumental in my banded life.
