Hello, I am having my Lap Band surgery on November 4th, and I have 116 pounds to loose. It seems like it's taken forever to finally get here, and now I'm nervous. I'm sure everyone feels this way. After all my research and diets I've tried (and failed), I feel that I am making the best decision of my life. I realize it will be hard and inconvienent at first, but I obviously need a life change. I keep thinking of the clothing I'll be able to wear, the things I'll want to do, and the confidence I hope to gain... I can't wait!!! ...Bring it on.
