Have Surgery Date, SCARED

[Guest pegfree]

Thumbs up on the Banding!

I am so glad I had the surgery. I am just 4 weeks out and have lost something like 18# since the surgery for a total of 100# from the first consult with the surgeon. As far as BMI... When I first saw the surgeon I was at 71... now it is like 55. I am so looking foreward to going to a park like Cedar Point and riding all the rides I never could have before, taking my great neices and nephews for their first "park" experience. Life wouldnt have such an outlook if I hadnt had the band placed. You will not regret it....

Dawn, Don't let anyone rain on your parade...............some people are negative no matter the situation. For example i have a dear friend of 35 yrs that is just a neg person, the cup is always 1/2 empty no matter the situation.......never 1/2 full SO am I going to tell her about my upcoming surgery ?? NEVER !! It is a very personal decision, listen to your heart............I have not told anyone other than my husband & one friend (who is having by pass this month). I don't want to be forced defend my decision especially to the girls who just don't understand because they have never rode that weight on, weight off roller coaster !! GOOD LUCK and think about next years Christmas party........... looking in the mirror wearing your new outfit and liking what you see !!
