Getting banded this Friday, 9/24th!!! Excited and nervous at the same time!!! But...cannot wait!!!

Hope to join you in Vegas next year at this time!

There are so many things I am looking forward to when I lose my weight....but mainly is being healthy again!!!

My "wish list":

***#1 is to get rid of all or most of my meds!!! I am TOO young!

***to look in a mirror and not be ashamed a the person staring back at me

***to run with my Grandkids (when I have them)

***to be able to take a shower and reach ALL the nooks and crannies! (don't laugh...you know exactly what I mean!)

***to be able to go to see a movie and actually fit in the seat

***to walk into a restaurant and not have to request a table...actually be able to FIT in a booth

***be able to walk from my car to a store and not lose my breath

***to be able to dial UP the heat in the winter

***to shop in a "regular" size clothing store

ONE STEP AT A TIME.....we'll be there in no time!

Congratulations, Nancy! Let us know how your surgery went, and how you're feeling afterward. :banana

Yes Nancy! Please keep us posted!!! Would love to hear more from you! Hope everything goes easily and smoothly. Teresa

Not knowing your personal feelings about this, I'll pray for an uneventful surgery, swift recovery and satisfying results, if you approve, of course!

Congrats. I haven't been banded yet, but I'll give this advice:

Celebrate each victory, no matter how trivial! Just don't celebrate with seconds of anything except Water.

Nancy, good luck on your banding! You better start adding to that list, because you'll be marking all of those things off sooner than you expect. Then you'll need something else to do!

Congrats, Nancy!! TWO MORE DAYS!!! Whoo hooo!

Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery!!

Goodluck with everything Nancy! Please come back and let us know how you are doing after surgery! Wishes to you for a speedy recovery.

Tomorrow is the big day, what time is your surgery? Just wishing you the best of luck!

Betty

Sending you the very best wishes and thoughts and prayers.

I am so happy for you.

Do something special for yourself today to help you relax. How bout a pedicure? That will relax you and pass the time and on top of that your toes will look so cute in the Hospital.

Hi, new Michigan bander.

Good luck on your banding I know that you wil find that it is the best thing you may have ever done. I was banded June 29, 2004 and have had two fills now and will have the third one on Oct, 4th. So far I have lost weight and have now believe that I may have reached my sweet spot as I can now tell when I have had enough to eat and no bad experiences.

Good Luck again.
