#1. Surgery date? Feb 24th 2010 #2. State you live in? Texas #3. Doctor/Surgery Center? Dr Keith Wright-True Results #4. Insurance or self pay? Insurance #5. Age and height 34-5'7 #6. Current weight and goal weight? 266-170 #7. What was your deciding factor for having this surgery? Was set to have it Feb 2009 but didnt know to much about it so i backed out. Regretted backing out Sept 2009 so I went back to try again since I made little progress losing weight on my own through Nutrisystem. #7. Do you have the support of family and friends? Yes I do #8. Concerns and questions? Just getting scared like we all are since surgery is so close now. But I am more afraid of the outcome if I dont try this.

OK so my surgery date will be Feb 24th and I have a question to all that are losing weight with the band. A really good friend of mine asked me to please not change after I get the band and start losing the weight. Change in the way I act. she is thinking It will make me "stuck up" or snobby. I doubt that I will. I think If anything Ill have more confidence in myself. Anyhow You know when you were heavy and felt like when you walked in the room that you were just blah. you dont stand out or tried not to bring more attention to yourself then your weight already did. You know when people are staring at you and you are scanning the room feeling like your the biggest one there. What I want to know is...How is it now with the weight loss. Do you do that to others now? Look at them and think wow she/he really needs to do something about their weight? Let me know Im really curious about people who have at one point been the heavy person to now being the thinner person.:thumbup:
