I have my date 1-13, I think every emotion is running wild.:tongue2:

You will feel like this is the BEST decision you have ever made. I know it was for me and I had the surgery in 12/06. Good luck and let me know how it goes. By the way I have lost 115 lbs!!:tongue2:

Ditto! I've just been banded (10-20-2008) and I'm happy about the results already. Now I feel like I have hope & control. I really believe the weight will stay off this time. Keep in touch & let us know if you have anymore questions. And the nerves are what I experienced. Visited every web site - several times - read all the literature. Looked at other folks before & after photos. The whole nine. The waiting was the hardest part for me. Once the procedure was done, I didn't have any pain, just soreness, and I've lost two dress sizes already! It will be well. And if your journey is like mine, it will be worth it.

All the Best to You
