I have surgery in a couple weeks on April 18. I have sat here and talked myself in and out of this surgery a million times since I found out my date in February. And then it hit me today that holy crap I talk myself out of it because that's what I do.. I have talked myself out of every diet and exercise plan telling myself that I will fail and what's the point, that it won't work, hey nothing else has, that I'm not worth it, I don't deserve it.Wow, its just unbelievable. That unfortunately was what I thought.. well it will take time but I refuse to think that way anymore. I deserve this, we all do!!

Going thru the same thing, here. And I have til June to convince myself of the same thing.

I just kept on reading all the success stories and following the video logs. I came to the conclusion that all have had success.Then I worked on telling myself that I am worth it to go through with it. Once I paid my deposit and booked my flights (I was self pay) I was committed to going through with the surgery.

I have to say that I love the fact that once you do it you can't talk yourself out of it and the sleeve itself kicks in to help you so much doing what you need to do.

Go for it!

I too spend a lot of time looking at the inspiring YOU Tube VLOGs- amazing, inspiring stories. You can't help but want to be one of those stories instead of the saem old story that has you so needing this.

I did this to myself too. I was getting prepared for the band in 2006 and my hubby was afraid of surgery and I let myself get talked out of it. I believed that I could do it the traditional way and thought myself weak if I did surgery. Which is not true at all. The preparation for this surgery has been the hardest thing I've ever done. I will not let myself back out again.

Thankyou all so much. It has certainly been quite the journey. I think I'm going to get the movie the secret to help me on this path of postiveness. It helps as always to know your not the only one who thinks in this way.
