I have signed up now for the discussion board and filled in all my information. I am going to see about having the lap-band surgery done but I am waiting on my insurance to approve of the surgery first. I am scared of having the surgery because I know it is not normally reversed, yet I am ready to lose weight! I am truly addicted to Dr Pepper and I love to eat for entertainment purposes. I will have to adjust rather quickly to this diet and see what I can do to turn my thinking around. I am nervous, but I know I can do it!!!
