I have been banded for two months today and I feel great! I have lost about 27 pounds since surgery, have more energy, and just feel better about myself. I am able to exercise and eat smaller portions and I am not so obessed with food. Gotta learn to slow down my eating and not take big bites...but this whole thing is a learning process.

so glad I did this for myself!!

Congratulations!

Hi Rachel, Congatulations on your progress, I am up to setting the date for my lapband, but I have had 2 therapist appts and still have another, and I was just wondering , did you get scared or have any doubts before your surgery at the last, just before you were banded.

YES! I wrote "goodbye" letters to my kids before surgery. I was scared. I knew I had to do something radical to get the weight off--no diet/exercise program worked for me. I was constantly stressed and hungry. I made a decision to do it. I had regrets the first or two after surgery. But, then, I started to feel better and better. I found I had more energy to exercise and just do the things that needed done around my house. I can play more with my kids. I followed my "gut" and my advice to you is to do the same thing.

good luck and hugs!
