very nice, thanks for sharing

I love this & needed this. Thank YOU for sharing.

very good advice. Thanks Mary!

Excellent list! This should be required reading for anyone considering the band.

awesome blog!!!!!

You hit it right on the nose and that's what I intended to do once I'm banded. I want to be successful and gonna do what my dr tells me too to be successful. If you have will power all is possible and I'm determined to lose this weight, so I can be healthier and happier. I'm doing this for me, I remember when I was smaller how happy and full of life I was, now with this weight it seems like everything has slowed down a bit. I recently started weight training and exercising preparing myself for banding. My goal is to try to lose 12 lbs this month, even it I don't lose it all I can say I gave it my best. Thanks for the post.

15 LBS BUT LOTS OF INCHES ...NEEDING NEW PANTS

GREAT advice. Thank you for posting! I think a lot of people are searching searching searching for answers is a fear of failure. Looking for ways to guarantee we won't fail. But you answered it: listening and following the instructions of the surgical team and doing the work required of us is a good recipe for success no matter where we're coming from.

That was an absolutely wonderful post and so true!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Right there with ya! you said everything I am feeling. Surgery is dec6!

Nice Blog Mary! You too provide strength to others. Your words are true and encouraging!! Thanks again, Igetting banded today. All day yesterday and even this morning I question my ability to make this change. But as like you I rely on other people experiences to guide me and give me a sense of direction. Thanks and best of luck to you.
