HI Everyone! I am scared and excited wrapped up into one in anticipation of the band. I am so scared that this will be like every other time I tried to lose weight and it just won't work. Or that I will be miserable having to eat so little,....all sorts of thoughts are running thru my head. *sigh* I have done so much research on my own and spoke with the surg. twice already. I have another appt with the Doc on Mar 7th 2011. I'm not sure if I will be able to set a date that day or not. Depends on Tricare I suppose....if they have sent back the authorization or not by that time. I have the support of my husband and grown children (ages 20 and 22). My mother on the other hand, I have chosen not to tell. She would make my life miserable (sadly, she is a mean spirited person of whom I love because she is my mother). I just don't think it is a good idea to tell her. I know I will need lots of support and hopefully I may be of support to someone else. I am looking for buddies who have been thru this and ones that I may go thru the process with. I look forward to many more conversations with you all. Cheers! web
