I'm so relieved to know I'm not the only one with the same fear and anxiety. I'm not at all scared about surgery but I'm terrified of failing. May 9 th is my big day. I'm struggling with the idea of this not a short term fix. This is truly long term and I have work to do.

I love seeing so many May banders! :)

I have 6 days to go! :)

I told my Dr. yesterday I was scared and excited at the same time. She said that it is pretty normal feeling. I think we all have dieted so many times and failed that we have it some where in the back of our head that we just will never win. But none of us have had this great tool to help us before. :) And I love to let you all know that We our all winners because we have choose to try again and this time we will succeed. Also I don't think I have ever had so many buddies to help me thru it as I have now with all of you!

Hi everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for May 15th and I am seeing the nutritionist this Friday. Good luck to everyone !

Michele39, I also live in Connecticut so if you ever need a buddy then send me a message ! :)

I go in on the 14th and also see my nutritionist tomorrow. Good Luck!

Those of you that are having surgery in the early part of the month, please post your stories. i know i am excited about posting my story.

I am getting way excited too. I really am doing good on my diet. Willpower short term is my thing..hahaha

However If i slip up it all goes to potty in a fast hurry. Did any of you others do that? Im sure we have all had successful dieting and then fell off the wagon and then beat ourselves up over it.

I am pryaing for the strength that I need now and for after the surgery!!

I am sure we will all make it. We have waited a long time for this!!
