questions for a newbie who is doing this alone

Thanks w8t4me. I am doing much better now. It has been almost two weeks since my surgery and the pain is gone. I still don't sleep through the night, however. That is probably due to my kids waking me up and once they do; I can't get back to sleep.

Hiya .... I am in the same boat.. I have only told my mom that I'm thinking about it... she will bug me about it, but has admitted that she has thought about it herself before she retires.

I have not told any co-workers and ESPECIALLY MY BOSS!!! We are in adjoining offices and he would be bugging me all day everyday about it....

I will use a week of PTO time and he will never know... my significant other... might as well be my dh, but we are not married.. so what do I call him... ANYWAY when I met him 2 years ago, I had just lost 80 lbs on Low Carb and I was in 12's..... now I'm back up to 20-22's and he makes fun of me everytime I try to get back on the LC wagon... (long story) ANYWAY.. I FEEL YOUR PAIN...... I will not tell him what I'm doing until I have the insurance approved and a date set...

I really think that the band will be the tool to help me maintain a loss......

I applaud you for doing this alone! and KEEP US POSTED
