    I'm gald I found this site... I made my decision & booked my surgery quite quickly. I had been secretly contimplating it for a while, but it was just fantasy until I suddenly realised hey, maybe you need this! I have yet to have my consultation though so I may not even be approved, but I'm hopeful. My yoyo history has to be a factor in their decision.
    Funny enough, there have been 2 coincidences so far in the place I have chosen to have it done. One being the hospital has the same name as me & the company I am going with is the same name as my own family company...weird or what?
    Anyway After reading a lot of experiences on this site I've had to seriously think about what I am about to do & the consequences involved & the way my life is going to change. I never really had a plan....until now.
    I am going to go into this 100% committed, and log every minute of it... I want to see my own road to recovery. My strengths, weaknesses & demons & how I overcome the obsticles...although I feel there will be few as I am not here to fight myself anymore.
    What I see from this site & the shared experiences is that it is crucial to be patient & most of all... to become a student of my own body & master of my mind.
    I will regard the band as my tool, my aide & friend to guide & help me stop the self destruction of continuing to waste my life as a self loathing fat person.
    To help me committ to myself & reward my efforts & decisions with confidence, dignity & pride.... Today is the first step in this journal. :clap2:
