Well today it finally happened. I was given my date for my lap band surgery.

Finally after all the years of shopping for whatever fit me then shopping for what I wanted.

Finally after all the years of standing behind in a photo to hide instead of up front.

Finally after all the years of food being in control of me, I will be in control of my food.

In a little over a month everything that has always been in front of me will be behind me....way behind.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations. When is your surgery? I'm in NYC by the way.

Congratulations, JoJoLYC! I'm a 'newbie' too - I joined the forum 2 years ago, but only now had the courage to book my surgery and start making the changes my body has been so desperately craving.

My surgery is December 18th. So I'm just a few weeks ahead of you. Hey - we can keep each other posted on how we're doing!

Way to go!

Best of luck Professor

Fabulous! Congratulations on choosing YOU first.

That was my surgery date as well. I'll be two years out on the 14th. Wishing you as much success as I've had.

I'm in NYC too. Good luck. I was banded at NYU.
