Hello All,

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've been busy with work, school, family and just life in general. Sorry I have robbed yall of details of my journey, but really nothing much has changed except my tolerance of hunger and the pains that come with it.

I'm not going to lie, I had weak moments that I thought I was going fail and relapse. I even thought about quitting the progrma altogether because I had been losing weight and figured I could do this on my own. But then I remember that I've done so many diets before and like them, this would be a thing of the past and I'll be back in the same boat if not worse so I'm driving on.

I'm the first surgery tomorrow and I'm nervous as all hell. I've never had a surgery this serious before. Plus, I'm starting to look slimmer each day and I'm worried that I will lose so much at once that I'll have the skin issue, which is a whole other surgery all on its own as well.

Well sorry i can't stay much longer, I'm at work and duty calls! I'll be in touch to let you know how everything went. Wish me luck!

V/r,

DeShawn

Good luck! Tomorrow will be over before you know it. Don't worry; you've got this!

Good luck...I was banded yesterday and it was a breeze!!!

I was nervous before my surgery too. But it was easy. The pain and gas are bearble. Remember that you got this far and you're hungry...it's really amazing to be able to go a day in 500 cal and not feel hungry. It is definitely worth it! Good luck!!

Good luck!!! I worry about the saggy skin too. I am just taking it one day at a time and as someone on here told me " you can hide skin but you can't hide fat " LOL best of luck!

Hope everything goes well for you!!!! Mine is next Wed. and im getting more nervous, but just ready to get surgery part over with. Good luck!!!

Good luck!! Mine is in the morning also!!

You all will do great!!!! Positive thoughts for all of you! Please let us know how you make out i'm getting banded on monday Congrats on the start of something GREAT!
