i love my band

I know that most post on forums like this are usually negative because the people who are not having problems are somewhere losing weight like crazy so I just want to put a positive spin on things. I was banded 4/9/07 and was so scared but now I realize it was the best thing I ever did. I have so much energy, my confidence is back up, I like buying clothes again, people are always commenting on the weight loss. I am soooooo pleased. The pro's out weigh the cons. I love myself the way I used to and that was worth the money.

I'm so glad you posted today. I am scheduled for my band on 7/26 and I am really getting nervous. I am wondering if I am doing the right thing, can I handle it, and if I will lose weight. My husband said "I hope this works, it sure it costing me a lot if it doesn't" and that made me worry. I feel like if this doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Thanks for posting,

Candy

It is very nice to hear your comments. I go in on the 23rd of July for my band. I am 5'4" and weigh 191. I want to be 130. What would you suggest for me with tips as I would like to have your 1st hand knowledge? Did you have any troubles with fills and how much saline did you have for your first one? Does the clinic send home details of what you can and cannot do or can and cannot eat? I'd appreciate anything you are willing to share about your experience. thanks
