I have been looking into this for years and reading these forums for over a month.
My weight hasn't changed in 5-6 years, no matter what I do, so I talked to a friend who's been through it, consulted the doctors, did my pre-op testing, and I am now scheduled. I will be banded on Thursday, May 15.
I am almost 33 years old and doing this largely (ha ha?) on my own. My friends and boss are VERY supportive, but everyone in my immediate family - short of my fabulous little brother - is not. They are all overweight, unmotivated, and prone to justification. It's unhealthy, to say the least, and not something to which I need be a party.
I am also starting a blog, which I will share here when it's ready to be shared. I have seen the friendliness here, the support, and really feel I have chosen the best community with whom to share this adventure.
