yes, id do it again ! im 8 months out, gone from a frumpy, old lady size 18 -1x to a cute size 14-large-, lost 50 lbs and generally feel 100% better. ive gone from walking only to jogging/walking, my joints dont hurt as much, my digestive problems have disapeared and my sleep apnea is getting better. Im getting compliments almost daily, (thankyou !!!) and i have cute, attractive clothes that keep getting bigger as i lose more weight. ( skinny jeans ??? belts ?? tucked in shirts ??, who, me ??). Yes, id do it all over again, its been a breeze !

I also am doing this as a gift for my 25th. It is a very expensive gift that hopefully will pay off in he long run. I'm looking at it as an investment for my future

its not a issue with will power
this has to be your (want to power)
its simple....lets get past the scared stuff, the what if's......
you and me (and everyone on here with a band or other WLS) had problems
with over eating. we got heavy, fat (obese--me for one)
we decided to do something about it. get help.
the band is only a 3 in plastic thing they put around your stomach at the top.
thats it. it will make you feel full after small amounts (when the fills start)
but you have to decide what to eat. if you continue to eat junk/fat foods,
you already know what will happen. the dr will give you the do's and dont's
that is up to you to follow
dont be scared
leave the drama outside on the sidewalk where it belongs
get yourself well
you are the only one who can do this for you
i know you can if you (want) to.

ps--you are never alone on this forum. we are here for you.
