I am new to this site and have my banding scheduled for June 30, 2009. I am very excited although somewhat nervious about the procedure. I've tried to be proactive and have purchased the foods I will need the first week - fat free chicken broth, sugar free jello and popsicles and various flavors of powdered protein. I am 53 years old and currently weigh 260 lbs. My highest weight has been 278 lbs. I hope to share my journey to help encourage others.
