thought i'd start a new thread for us guy who are being banded in sept. my surgery is on the 18th. ive lost about 8 lbs. just worrying about it. scope will be on the 15th. it was suppose to be on the 1st but when the nurse was about to put in the iv she asked me who was driving me home. i said me. she said no your not you can't drive for 24 hours after the procedure. i said i sure wish somebody would have told me that! jerks!! anyway i've been practicing chewing my food better and realized i really don't chew it i just shovel it in. old habits die hard. is anyone else being banded in sept? later, greg.

ok so you got banded less than a month ago and have already lost how much weight??? I am on the fence about the surgery and whether or not I can go through with it so I need someone who has done it to talk to...anyone game?

i tried to follow you on twitter but couldnt find a way to communicate...do you have yahoo messenger or email I really need to talk to someone who has had this recently...I am yo - yo ing between cancelling and going through with it...thanks

I was banded in September 07 and it was the best decision I ever made.

Good luck to all you 09/09 bandstars.

I was banded 4/09 and it's the best thing I could have done. You will go through the back and fourth thing but I'm really glad I did it. I lost 40 lbs presurgery and 49 since surgery 19 more pounds and I'll be at my first goal.
