Day 1 Of My Journey

Hello,

I am pre-op. My stomach is turning as I go through all the websites and posts about the lap band surgery. I started this journey three years ago. I went to the seminar and learn about the lap band. I scheduled my psych evaluation, but did not go through the surgery because I was not sure this was the best decision for me. There is so much to learn about this surgery and so much to change. I am ready for the change, but still kind of worried.

Here is to a brand new me.

My decision is made. No turning back.
