Introductions? Yes Please
Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone was from NY...?? I'm 28 yrs old an single mother of a very active three year old boy. Work full time as a AR Manager and I can not wait to be banded on 4/5, counting down the days. I have gain lots of weight over the past 4 years due too lack of mobility. I was diagnosed with bone cancer and had my knee and femur replaced (twice). I tried to push my self so much and i caused myself to break the prothesis. Anyway I hope with this surgery I will walk better and be more active so I can keep up with my son., Ohh and of course look good for the summer..

How Did You Tell People?
My SO honestly does not know. I told he back on oct I was very interested and he was against it. I am 100% ready and can't wait. Me and him not not married, we have been together for 8 years and have a son together. I wish I could have told him now, but I'm being banded on4/5 and don't want any negative vibes.. My entire family knows, some of them don't understand why I'm getting it but they are not being negative about it. I want to stay positive and happy about my new journey to come

Help...post Op Grocery List...
I have only told my immediate family, and 2 coworkers that I trust.. So am not ready to have ppl being negative.. After surgery I can deal with, not before, I just saw a YouTube video with the girl stating she have V8, So I was curious b/c no one else has mentioned it. Never had v8 before guess down the line I might try it. I am not on a diet before surgery, except for the day before all liduid diet.. Mg surgery at 7 am. What about you?? Getting anxious?? Are you worried about Easter, u know family gathering with lots of food..., I know my Easter will be a nightmare, my family has a big get together. And I have so many niece and nephews there will be sooooo much chocolate, ughhhh

My Only Real Reason The Truth.
Wow!! What a amazing story, just know that you are not alone.. I myself feel like you, I was always fit and very active untill I turned 21 and was diagnosed with bone cancer. I had to have my knee, femur and hip replaced twice. I am not active and just started to aim weight. Because I have a prosthetic in my leg I have many limitations. Now I have a three year old son I can't keep up with. I know getting banded will be great for me. And no matter what ppl say, I chose to only tell my immediate family and no one else needs to know. They just won't understand..when are you having ur procedure??
