Help! Having MAJOR second thoughts....

[JustAskinThx 0]

I just got banded yesterday, so I am VERY familiar with those thoughts/feelings you're having! I think, really, for me, the final thing that pushed me to go for it was the thought of being liberated from the diet treadmill: working SO D*MN hard to lose the weight, then seeing it all come back on..effortlessly. I know this is a huge change, but think how nice it will feel NOT to be doing that diet treadmill!

Best wishes to you.

Hey everyone, Just want to thank everyone for their heartfelt responses... just what I needed a little kick in my big (soon to be small) butt! I need to keep the prize in front of me... I wish i could comment of each one that took the time to leave me a comment, (shhhh but I'm at work!). but you really helped me. Thanks! I will let you all know when I have "the date." lol It feels as important as a wedding date... but at least I know the band is forever! LOL.. now THAT's funny!!!!!

Keep smiling! Tracy

I also had to do many things before I had my surgery. Go to 6 months of classes, group meetings & ect. I think the whole time I was doing that I never really thought it would happen, because I was turned down a few years before. I remember when they told me my surgery would be 3/4/09 and I was scared and unsure if I really wanted to do this. The night before my surgery I cried all night thinking maybe I should change my mind. I will tell you this is one of the best things I ever did for myself. It is not easy and takes lots of work, but I feel great. Everyone has second thoughts and no one knows what will happen in the future but you will succeed if you work hard and follow the rules I wish you the best of luck and hope you decide to get a band, I don't think you will be sorry.
