Hi there. I was banded on 7/13. I have lost a total of 7.7 lbs since surgery, but 20 from the beginning of the liquid diet prior to surgery. I have not had a fill yet. No blog at this time. I am excited to start this new venture in life. I am going to succeed.:laugh:

Well, you certainly have the right attitude! Hang in there... you'll do it!

I have a surgery date of October 8. I am so happy I cry about it regularly. I am a self-payer, unfortunately, but I believe it will be so worth it. We will have over a 3rd of the cost saved by the surgery date and borrow the rest. I know it's a big expense, but when you put it in perspective, it's really not, it's MY LIFE. I look forward so much to my future. I am so sick of battling my weight. It's been this way my whole life.

Congratulations! I can't wait to join y'all on the same mission of success!
