I Dr. said, that I am likely to have my band completed in December. I really hope everything else goes great, as I am ready to bring in the new year with a NEW ME. I am still not quite open about the surgery, in fact no one knows but me. I may tell my husband, as the timeline approaches, but the closer I get the more excited I feel.

I am scheduled for December 27~ so nervous yet so excited!

I am nervous also, but I have been working on this since early March, so I feel prepared. I had to do a 6 month physician supervised diet for my insurance, and since I have finshed that its been one thing after another for them. But I finally got approved, thats all that matters!! Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck!

Hi everyone, I got banded on the 15th. It has been tough. I am really hungry and want to eat everything I used to eat but I am staying strong and so far have lost 16lbs. Everyday its a struggle but has been getting easier, though occassionally I want a burger and fries.

I went into a clothing store and looked at clothes and searched for my size which they didn't carry and it was extra motivation. This liquid diet and changing the way I eat has been one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I know that it will be worth every ounce of effort I put into this because I will no longer worry about being unhealthy or be ashamed of the way I look.

I am looking forward to the journey ahead of me...Good luck with yours everyone

Amanda,

Your positivity is going to take you a long way! Good job!
