I live in MO and I am meeting my surgeon on the 27th of February. Kind of scared and excited, I have been anticipated to do this for quite some time, I cried when I got my approval letter from my insurance and the call from the doctors office to schedule my appointment and surgery date all in the same call.

My DH loves big girls but I am bit too big for my taste. I also have a daughter who is my life and I am not only doing this for myself but for her so I will be around to see her grow as the beautiful woman she will become.

I dont have too much of a support system since my mom passed in 2004 and my dear friends live outside the state, but I am gradually coming out of my shell and joining "fun" groups at my work. Today I am learning to knit LOL.

Just looking for someone to help me through this or be in my cheering section as I battle this losing battle ...

thanks for stopping by and reading this.

You will do great. I am also scheduled to be banded on the 9th. I was so amazed when the insurance company approved me. I am also learning to knit. I live in Colorado, but I would be happy to be there in spirit and talk with you anytime. I know there will be times of frustration, and I too would love to have a good support system. My husband is being really great, but since he has never had a weight problem, I think it is hard for him to understand how I feel.

Keep your chin high and let me know if you need to talk.
