I have an appointment!

I have an appointment on Wednesday, October 4th, 2006 at 12:00 PM with Dr. Deron Ludwig.

It doesn't even seem real...

I feel excited, yet oddly detached.

More later - I need some time to get my head around this thing.

Tomato

I felt the exact same way!!! I didn't "land" until I spoke with the doc....lol like I was on some secret mission...lol!!!

yes, that's exactly how I feel...lol!!!

I felt that way too.

I was scared. SURGERY!

My brain knew I needed this tool.

I was so scared of having a stroke or worse.

When I would talk to my "eating buddies" about my fears , they would say are you going to change your mind? I never considered changing my mind.

My fears were never pigging out at my favorite chinese restaurant and never eating so many chips and salsa at my fav mexican restaurant that I wasnt even hungry for my entree. I still look at any chinese restaurant I pass and wonder but I want to be healthy and buy clothes in the non plus size department. I want to not be the largest person everywhere (almost). I always feel so sorry for anyone larger then me. I want to give them a hug. Iwant to be able to fly comfortably. Damn it.

I am so glad I banded
