Congrats!!!  I didn't have a waiting period of very long - 1 month, but still... that month ended up FLYING by when I realized how close it was!

Best wishes!!!

Hey Kelly thank you for your thoughts, but how is the band procedure? do you like it and is there any complications? I am having RNY maybe, I am still up in the air.

You're very welcome!  The band was great!  I was in and out of my surgery center in 3 hours, including waiting in the waiting room for 45 minutes.   I had surgery on a Monday, and was back to work Thursday (because I needed another day off for the gas pain.... but that was the only really bad part)   My surgeon is AMAZING and so is his crew, so I would highly recommend them to anyone.  So far, I've only had two fills, had some problems with the last fill of being too tight (you can read that on my blog), and now I have what appears to be a rash of some sort on my stomach near the port, but it's just annoying because I know it's there.  Nothing major.  But you will lose weight slower with the band,... but it's all up to you.  I just recommend doing homework on all of the surgeries, and having a good discussion with your surgeon about which ones that are recommended for you.

The reason I chose the band was because it's the easiest procedure for a woman of child-bearing age, and I don't have to worry about complications after pregnancy.  I just have my saline taken out of my band, and start over when the pregnancy is complete.
