Happy New Year from Germany! To those like me who have January 2013 dates to be banded...my prayers to you for a successful surgery and a new YOU!

For those waiting on approvals or just to make up your mind...YOU WILL GET THERE...JUST HOLD ON. I have patience, but truly learned patience waiting on those little green people at the insurance company to say YES!

Speak positive, stay positive, be positive. If you know God...PRAY. He will see each of you thru this journey. I've read many posts and I have laughed, cried, gotten mad, sympatized and rejoiced with many of you through your expressions on LBT. And you have encouraged me to continue to move forward toward my goal.

Success in 2013 to each of you.

wonderful to hear from you moses. was thinking about you all day. so glad you are done with the surgery. i'm staying overnight when I have the surgery....dr. ren thinks it's better for me because I have so much trouble walking. went to my gp today for final clearance. let me know if you'll be going to the support group at nyu. I was thinking of doing it to hear from others and get support.

Today was my first day of my pre op diet! ! Doing better than I expected. Im praying for strength to get thru the next 13 days. wishing you all the best. Changing our lives one day at a time.
