Hello Everyone!! My name is Heather and I am new to the website! I am getting Banded at the Naval Hospital here in San Diego on the 27th of October! My 29th Birthday is today! So one week from today will be new birthday! I am excited to become more healthy and work on my goals of weightloss! I am happy to be a part of this website and look forward to the support and giving support on here! I am looking forward to chatting with everyone and if there is anyone in the San Diego area that is looking for a LB friend let me know! I know I will need my own cheerleader and I look forward to doing the same for someone else!! Good luck to everyone!

Happy Birthday Heather!

I too am from SD and am getting banded 10/21 at UCSD. I totally understand the cheerleader thing...I am scared of messing up. Are you on any kind of fast?

My doc did not tell me to fast. I have to do a two day liquid diet two days before surgery but that is about it! I have about 60 to 70 lbs to lose. I am only 5 foot 1 or 2 depending on the scale! lol My bp has been thru the roof so that is why the need for the surgery! I will totally be your cheerleader!!!

Oh and thanks for the Birthday Wishes!!!

Hugs
