I have been approved and am waiting for a date. I have made a few posts but lose my place so I'm not sure which threads I've been following. I am an emotional eater and know that I will need to make a lot of changes, not only diet. I appreciate the support found here and will keep trying to remember where I have left off. Would like to know if there are other ND's who have found this site. I wish I could meet everyone, all are so open, honest and positive. Thanks, Penny.

I'm new and not banded yet........I also don't know what PBing is. I love all the info and good, healthy support. I will be well educated going into this new phase of my life.....at least after I know what PBing is! Penny

I have been approved but not scheduled yet. One of my fears is falling back into bad habits because I am an emotional eater. I am wondering if Overeaters Annon. is something that anyone has experience with. I have looked at some of the signs of compulisive eating that OA has on their website and I see a lot of those signs in the way I eat. I am trying to prepare not only for the band, eating for the band lifestyle but also looking at the issues that have contributed to being at this point. I would appreciate any experiences with OA and emotional eating. Penny

Hi everyone: I am new to this site so I hope I am responding to the correct thread. I am approved but not scheduled. I am most afraid of failing again like some of you have said. I am scared of giving up all the foods I love and being too weak again. Thanks to all of you for your support, I can see this will be an important part of my journey. Penny

I just found out today that I am approved for the Band. I work with about 25 women, several of whom have lost a lot of wt on WW. I feel ashamed that I have not been able to lose wt the "old fashioned" way. I don't know whether or not to tell people partly because I'm afraid to fail again. I appreciate all the insights people have shared on this thread. Thank you, I look forward to using this site for support.
