Thank you God for giving me the strength to head in this direction! Surgery is scheduled for 2/21 and liquids start this Friday. My husband is a huge support system and will not let me stray. (not that I plan to )☺

I am so excited and so nervous to start this new adventure, and meet my new friend "the lap band" !! My tool, not my quick fix!!

All your stories have been so inspiring to me, thank you all and I wish you/me all the success!!

Happier Days are coming!!!!

The band is an answer to prayer for me also. last summer I was praying for guidance as to what program to use but all I would get Is"be still and Know that I am God" So I just waited to see what He was going to show me. Then in Aug. I had my regualr yearly physical and my DR. said she is going to referr be for WLS. With in a couple of days The hospital called and I went to the orintation and filled out all my forms. It seemed everything went so smoothly and my insurance cleared at first try. I was banded Jan7 and have lost 8 lbs plus the wieght I lost before surgery. May god bless your journey.

It is all mind, body, AND soul!

Good luck on your journey.

Best wished for your success. You seem to have a great attitude and sounds like your will be just fine.

Welcome to the fold. I will keep you in my prayers.

Sounds like you have a great attitude going into this. Best wishes to you!

Thank you all for your kind words, I am very anxious about starting the liquids this Friday, but I plan to keep busy sewing and reading! I understand that the first 4 days are the toughest, I can handle that ☺
