18Dreamer

Hi guys. I don't know if any of you are still on here but I'm having my surgery in one week and I'm super nervous. I have dr brown and I like his staff I just want some advice on these secod thoughts I'm having. I weight 220 and am 5'7 and so im obese but it's just hard

I'm only 18!! What am I doing! This is like if I were to have a baby. It's a lifelong commitment and I don't think I can do it! But the weird thing is I'm mainly scared about surgery and right after with the pain. I've been in so much pain in my 18 years and I really can't go through more. But I just want to be that beautiful girl! But is that enough to do this surgery? I don't have diabetes or anything. Its just to lose weight and look skinny. Or is it because if I continue on this path I will be that 300 pound in happy girl?

Well insurance was approved. So I'm gonna be getti banded in 10 days. Im so ready but goodness it's just such a change. I'm eating everything and I don't care even though that's bad. Do you guys think that's bad? I mean I know the commitment it's just my whole life I've watched what I've eaten my whole life I just want these 10 days to atop worrying.

No way!!! We will totally have to meet up. How are you doing?

Colorado batiatric surgical? Institution. The doctors name is Thomas Brown at Presbyterian/St Lukes downtown

Thats good to hear! A flawless journey would be amazing to have to let's hope! How much have you lost?

I live in Thornton but go to CSU so fort Collins is where I will be for the long haul. I get banded the 25th and just looking for people to talk too about it =)

Wow! Thank you so much! I went to fat camp and lost 30 pounds and over the past 5 tears gained it all back plus some. And you totally have the rest of your life too! Thank you forth words and I hope to keep in touch! Pictures and measurements are something I never thought about but I can totally see why it helps in the journey!

My date to get banded is the 25th and I just want to talk to peopl and see if they went to my same doctor and to know their progress in their journey!

This is just what I needed! I just want a better life (my life is great and I'm happy but there is just something missing). I am about 220 and I work out ALL the time I just don't know why I can't lose weight! I hope to keep seeing your guys weight loss because that's amazing! I'm scared I won't get the results other people on here got but I'm hoping for the best
