Well after 6 months of Doctor visits, Blood tests and a 14 Day PreOp liquid diet. I go into surgery to get banded tomorrow.

After all the failed diets, fad diets, pills and everything else I have tried. "And I have tried them all"

It is time for a new beginning and a new me.

I was thinking last night how being overweight had kept me captive in my own body. Watching my kids grow up and not being able to run in the park with them, sit comfortably in a movie next to them, even go to amusement parks only to be told I was too heavy to ride some attractions.

This all comes to an end tomorrow. With my new weightloss "Tool" and am now ready to take on the world and everyone in it.

Hope to all speak to you later on this week!

This is so exciting. Post here as soon as you feel up to it. Good luck !!!

@@JoJoNYC So happy to read that you are on your way!! Best of luck for a smooth op and recovery!! Let us know how you are doing as soon as you are able!!

Good luck! Keep us posted! remember to take it easy!

You summed up all the reasons why I made the same choice you did to get my lap band. Come on 2015 all the things we will be able to do:) Don't be nervous the procedure is not that bad. Take it easy for the first few days but then get moving to get rid of the gas. It will make you feel so much better. Good luck and see you on the other side!

Yippee! So happy for you.......

Congrats!! Keep us posted. My surgery is Friday.

Good luck. You'll be on the other side soon.

Thank you! My surgery was yesterday. Feeling so much better than I expected I would! And not hungry!!
