I am sorry you are going through this. I just got banded yesterday and I am cautiously optimistic. I've been home about 6 hours since being released from the hospital. My goal for the next 2 weeks is to just focus on liquids and healing.
The only thing that helped get me here is my psychologist and my husband's faith in me. I also made a friend at the clinic and we both got banded yesterday. We call each other "twins", and I plan on going to the monthly meetings at the clinic.
The only reason I am saying all of this is because in addition to my determination I think the only way I will get through this process is with a thorough support system.
In addition to this forum can you set something up with yourself and for yourself as a support? Oh I forgot to mention I have 2 "sponsors", one is my friend who got banded six months ago and another is my friend that got banded 18 months ago. they have been texting me like crazy the past two days and one took me to the hospital.
The support is vital to this process.
I am here for you too. Let me know if you need an email "hug".
Gotta go now, my mom and little sis are on their way to "take care of me". love it!
xoxo
