I am scheduled for my surgical evaluation. I have been to the talks. Am self -pay so I think my surgery will be scheduled within a month. I am so excited but so scared. I have failed at so many self - diets that I am afraid to trust that I can do it.

The band is definitely just a tool, but it helps a lot. I have found that im scared of it, so it works really well for me. I was self pay also, so I try to do everything right since it is not a cheap investment.

Don't start your journey thinking you are soing to fail, you will do great!

You will do great. Go to your evaluation knowing this it's the first step to a new you. You will be so glad. I'm only eight days post-surgery and I'm already seeing a difference. The liquid pre-diet will be your toughest challenge but just know it's something you must do to get to where you want to be. Good luck and keep us posted.
