I got cold feet the first time but...

Hey all,

here I am again. Last January or so I was to do the banding. I got nervous. The lady who was to set up my surgery told me she regretted it. I think its different when you read about issues someone may have had..but its something else when someone talks to you and says..i wish i hadn't done it...so, i got scared. But then, I tried watching what I ate..but that ended up watching from my fingers to my mouth (haha)..so the dieting still didnt' work..of course I had tried so many times, it didn't surprise me...

 

I am ready to go through it again. What changed my mind you ask? well...I think I have found that at my age I ain't getting any younger and that I am sick of looking the way that I am and not being able to do anything about it...I have a mini-consultation with my doctor and hopefully, if all goes well, september is the month to have the banding...

 

Peace
