I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! Just remember, we all make mistakes and hit speed bumps. But it's how you pick yourself back up that makes the difference.

GOOD LUCK GIRL! CONGRATS!

Your Friend,

Hi Boo!!

I have never written on here before. I am just starting my journey. I am not even d eclided on what type of WLS I will be having. I have gone to the information meeting, filled out the paperwork and have an appointment on Monday with a nurse and dietician. Then I will meet with the surgeon. It scares me that I have no idea what surgery or when I will have it. Your post has been the most inspiring by far. Thank you!!! It helps me think more and more that the lap band is the way to go!! I will feel feel so much more at peace once I know what surgery I am having. Thanks again!!

I felt all the emotions in your story. The part that said you were tearing up, I was controlling my breathing and fanning my face. (smile) Thank you for sharing your story. It is a huge encouragement for those of us coming up behind you.

Congratulations on your tremendous success!
