I can't wait 4 my surg and to see all the progress I expect from this banding. Have heard from many people in their 'golden years' who just want to get healthy and are a "queen of diets" like me!:ohmy:

Wow, Diana, Congrats! I think it's amazing that you are doing this at 71. You'll probably feel 10 years younger when you get some of the weight off!

When is your surgery date?

Hello, Ibaladydianatoo! Honestly, when I lived in North Pole,Alaska, a friend always called me "lady Di"!:w00t:

I am glad that you have decided to have the surgery. A friend of mine who is 76 had it in Oct 2009. He is doing great and the doc took him off of his diabetes and cholesterol meds and reduced his bp meds. He feels a lot better already.

Keep us posted as you approach being banded!
