Now that I have had my band for a total of 4.5 months, I think my best advice to anyone who asks is to 'Follow the band rules.' It's that simple. It may be simple but I know sometimes it is hard to do. IMO, if you follow the band eating rules, you will do really well. Also, you'll find out that everyone's experience with the band is different. And so while sometimes it helps to hear other's experiences, I think we each have a 50/50 chance of experiencing the same thing. Super good luck to you!

Thank u sooo much! And kudos to u!!!! I appreciate any advice.So with the support of all my banders i will do this!!!!

Hey! I'm also getting banded on the 5th of February. I'm so excited!!! Congrats to you and good luck!!!

Well same to you....im soo xcited!!!! Looks like we will be going thru it together,band buddy!!!

Hi! Tomorrow is my big day! I am really looking forward to it, though of course, I am very nervous about going under anesthesia! My husband had it done in May and so far has lost 40 pounds! He is able to eat almost everything but of course in smaller portions. Our friends don't know he even had this done, because it's not like he is depriving himself and the weight has come off slowly, the way it should be! He is also walking a lot which is very important. It's giving me great incentive!!! :thumbup:

Congrats to ur hubby on the 40lb loss! Take it one day at a time and u will do great.Let me know how it went...U r in my prayers.
