I AM TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM STARTING MY NEW LIFE. I HAVE SUCH HIGH HOPES FOR THIS SURGERY. I AM PRAYING TO GET MY LIFE BACK. I WAS OUT WITH THE KIDS TODAY THINKING THIS IS THE LAST TIME MOMMY WILL HAVE TO STOP PLAYING BECAUSE SHE HURTS OR SHE IS TIRED. NEXT YEAR THIS TIME, I WILL BE ABLE TO "HANG" WITH MY GIRLS. I GOT ON THIS SITE TWO YEARS AGO LOOKING FOR INFORMATION FOR MY MOTHER, WHO KNEW TWO YEARS LATER, I WOULD BE ON HERE FOR MY OWN SURGERY. MY TENTATIVE BANDING DATE IS APRIL 6, BUT I WILL KNOW DEFINITELY ON TUESDAY. I WILL NEED ALL OF YOU ALLS HELP THROUGH THIS PROCESS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE CHANGES BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

Welcome to the board and to the journey! Lucky kids!

thank you and i feel we are all lucky to have each other. when you have kids a little late in life, you appreciate them all the more. I was looking at your profile info, what is the hold up with your surgery?

Welcome, Delta--ooh! Your surgery date is so close! You are going to do great

Hi Delta,

Well, we are in this together! You April 6th and me April 7th. It is so encouraging seeing everyone's BEFORE and AFTER pics. They looks so good, plus they must FEEL fabulous! Will be nice to enjoy life again without our bodies feeling bad!
