So this Thursday is my surgery day. I had only told my husband and my parents up until now.

I had my band removed 8 weeks ago, and was ashamed to tell his family, I couldn't handle them judging me.

So today I wrote out what seemed like and easy text message, but wasn't...

It took all my will to say that I am embarrassed of my weight, my failure with band. I'm ashamed I can't do this on my own.

Talk about a moment of reflection, I prey that I don't fail at this one.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. I am proud of you and I don't even know you. It takes courage to keep working to make yourself more healthy.

There is a whole forum here for people with band to sleeve revisions. I know you will find even more support there. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/394-band-to-gastric-sleeve-revisions/

All the best for your surgery.

Than you. I guess I had never had to say it out aloud before. That I failed. It was confronting.

I know I am doing it for the right reasons.

Some people fail the band, others the band fails them... you are not a failure, you are a work in progress! Just like the rest of us.

Well said Kim
