Hello - I'm scheduled for band surgery on Monday, May 14th. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I've been working hard for 1 1/2 years to get to this day. Praise God it is around the corner. I'm excited about gaining my life back!!!

    Just read your post and saw that your surgery was today. I hope it all went well. Today starts a new journey. Good luck. Follow all of the banster rules and you should do fine. It took me a long time but I am finally at my goal weight and no longer over weight. I will have my band 3 years on June 1. So far, so good.

    I just got my band placed on May 7th. I totally know what you mean about nervous but excited. I do think I was expecting too much my first week. I am now in week two and I'm able to keep down yogurt and cottage cheese. So glad to actually be chewing something. That was my big issue with the liquid part. I am 17 lbs. down since the start of the process and very excited. My blood sugars have been much better and I am looking forward to starting a healthier lifestyle with exercise. Good luck on your journey!
