Soooooooooo... I think I'm getting back in the right mindset and getting over the fact that as bad as I want to, I can't have the surgery close to home. Since New Orleans is sooooo far away and Little Rock was just RUDE I decided to call the last alternative on my plan which was SWC in Dallas, TX. I wish I would have just started with them. They were VERY quick to get back with me and very nice. They are sending my info to the doc for review. Then based on that they will set me up with an appt. :crying: We'll see how this one goes. :biggrin:

WoW! You need to not let others discourage you. I know it's hard. Some maybe jealous... some may have legit concerns. Either way you're not going this for them.. your doing it for you. I am not banded yet, but I have always gotten positive feedback from everyone I have talked to. I think it's a blessing. I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you soooo much Angelica. You are totally right. I just think I have gotten discouraged that things didn't work out as I had planned them to. Maybe i'm more of a control freak than I thought! lol I do know I need the band. I am weak when it comes to food and I fear I always will be without it. And I in no way shape form or fashion like to puke or feel like i'm choking. So once I PB it's over. I'd never try it again. I am probably going to be the one that stays on liquids alot lober for fear that I will PB or choke! lol Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it!!!

What an awesome idea!!!

I hate this. I feel like I'm back at square one again. I'm not even sure if the band is for me. I keep thinking have I really given traditional weight loss a chance? I know i've tried diets before and it always comes back because you fall off the wagon... but isn't that what the band is? Changing how much/what you eat? You can manipulate the band and eat most anything you want and how much you want. How do I know I'll have enough will power to stick with it after I have spent all that money. :biggrin: I am starting back on Atkins thursday. (I pray I have the will power.) Afterall that is how they want you to eat after you get banded. So at least I'll be used to eating that way if I do go forward with it. I hate this...

You look amazing! I hope and pray I do half as good as you if I ever get my band!

Congrats and good luck!!!

When i read this it was like you took the words right outta my mouth. (yeah i'm from the south! hahaha!) I think that is one of the reasons i keep going back and forth on whether i really want the band or do i need the band. Sometimes i feel like i'm going to cheat myself by getting it, but on the other hand i'm afraid i will love it so much and it will work so good that what if it breaks or fails and i have to get it done again and i can't. Such a battle of thoughts going on in my head lately. Best of luck to you!!!
