I am SO ready to begin this part of my life. I am ready to be fully dedicated and to take this journey one day (and one meal) at a time. I wish everyone out there who just had it done or is getting ready to like me all the success in the world. We all deserve it. I am so tired of people looking at me different. I know I will never be the 110-115lb person I was thru my 20's but I'd love to get back to around 145lb. I would be thrilled. I am currently weighing 225lb and at only 5'1" that is WAY too much!!!! :bananalama:

Anyway, I'm glad a banded friend of mine told me about this website. I think it will be an awesome tool to help me along. I hope I can help others too.

Hello and Congrats on your new journey in life change. Keep that excitement through your journey through this. I hope all goes well in the weeks to come and get back to the new you again! Stay well! SisC

First and foremost welcome to the site and congratulations on your surgery date! I will be banded on 2/16. Good luck to you and keep in touch!:bananalama:

My surgery is also on 2/20/09. I'm getting a little nervous. Good luck to you and keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

Me too! I just found out yesterday that I am booked for the 20th, it surprised the heck out of me - I expected a longer wait. But I am not complaining, I can't wait to be a bandster! Good luck to you all and best wishes for a quick and easy recovery!
