:eek: Hello- I'm excited next week Thursday is my banding. My boys are 8, 6 and 4. They go none stop-you would think that I would be as thin as a pencil. I was never able to loose the weight after having the kids and working full-time. So here goes nothing! --

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I'm sure you will do fine, and you will soon have sooo much more energy to keep up with them. I am from East Tawas. Where are you having your surgery at? I'm going through Hurley, still waiting on a date. Only a couple weeks till I'm done with my 6 month diet.

You will do great!

Congrats on thurs, and good luck! I also have 3 boys, ages 16,18 and 20 next month. I doesn't seem possible. Seems like yesterday they were an infant, 2 and 4. Goes by so quickly. I'm getting banded 9/29, 1 week from today. I'm getting so excited/anxious I can hardly stand it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up better with the hiking, snowboarding, etc and just feel better all around. :girl_hug:
