I was wondering if you ever say to yourself,.I Regret doing this?..I am so nervous I am going to feel that when I have my surgery done.

I just got a referl from my doctor at Kaiser dose anyone know what I need to say when I have the appointment with them I want to make sure thy OK me for the band thanks

Okay Ladies It has been a while since i have been logged on here and I got the amazing news today that I am approved the first time around. I also pretty much get to pick my day to have surgery they are waiting on my insurance to send over the autorization and then I get my date. I am so happy that this is really happening and I am nervous but so ready for this it is going to change my life and my health. I finally broke down and told my mom that all the appointments i have been having was for this and she was happier then i thought she would be and it has made her realize that she needs to work at losing weight too. I cant wait to get my date and know that my journey to a skinnier me will be started soon. Look forward to posting more of my journey.
