It was a great experience, and I'm really glad I went. Everyone was extremely friendly, and all had open ears while I cried and talked about my concerns. A couple of gals even gave me their phone numbers and email addresses, which I greatly appreciated since I don't have many people to talk to.

I have not had my surgery yet, but Im doing my 6 mo supervised diet. I'm not a full month out, so I have plenty of time to think through everything. Im still stuck between getting

the band, and getting the sleeve. I don't know what i'm going to do... I hope this gets easier.

I felt the same way after I went to the support group meeting 10/23/10. I think everyone should attend at least one.

I have attend three support groups.. which is mandatory by my Doctor. I found it interested to know that so many people are taking their lives into their own hands.. I am so glad that I have made this decision... I am having the lap band.

Good for you when do you plan on being banded?

I orginally wanted to be banded in November. I looks like probably December now.. I really don't care as long as its this year.. I want to start 2011 as the new me..
