I have never met you in real life, but you are my people.
I have only gotten through the last 6 months of my boring, paperwork only, required supervised diet because of reading your posts.
Instead of being scared or unsure, everytime I have come to this site I have felt more and more like I am doing the right thing, like I belong here with you guys.
I have not been banded yet (soon, soon, soon!), but I know that with your help, I will get through it and I will be successful.
Thank you, my Lap Band family, for just being you.
Sincerely,
Rosie from Chicago
