Congratulations! Bet that's some really great motivation

My surgery is tomorrow too. Sounds like our weeks have been similar. Lots of shopping and prepping. Good luck tomorrow. Let us know how you do. It's a big journey and so nice to have others going through it at the same time. Get some sleep tonight!

Thanks for sharing your story! I am getting banded in one week and need to hear inspirational stories like yours. Congratulations on the new life you've worked so hard to achieve!

My surgeon suggested about a week off and a 20 lb lifting restriction for a few days. I think if you're careful about your lifting and make sure to take time to sit, you should be ok. Might be sore but that's managable.

Find something that inspires you such as looking at before and after weight loss photos here and on YouTube. That might help give you the extra emotional boost you need to help get you through this tough time. I know you can do this! You've already come so far and just need to get over this hump.

It's an exciting time, isn't it! Hope you have a good initial consult on Monday and find if this is the right choice for you. This is a great place to get all kids of questions answered by people who are and have already gone through the same thing as you. It's been a great support for me. Hope all goes well!

I can't imagine what you're going through right now but you've got this amazing group of on-line friends to turn to for support. Vent any time you need to and let us help you get those feelings out so you can start focusing on you again. Chin up! Will be thinking about you!

I am doing it self-pay as well. The way I look at it is I need this to live a full and fulfilling life. I want to be around for my kids and my husband so it will be well worth it in the end. Writing that big check won't be fun but I AM WORTH IT!!
