I finally called and made my first appointment with Dr. Singh. I attended his seminar late last summer, and I finally made the call. I kept thinking when it would be the right time, since the Dr. said its important to go through with the surgery when you don't have a lot of stress in your life. Probably and impossible thing, but I've made some changes to get rid of the stresses that I can.

I'm totally nervous to go through with this. It's those little things....the "what if"s. That and I really hate throwing up, so I hope that I don't have that much of a problem post-op.

My appointment is March 31, 2010. I want to loose at least 100 lbs. with this surgery. Hopefully the loss will help me gain my confidence and start to live again!

Best wishes it can happen to you and may all your dreams come true. Mine have so far. Banded June 29, 2009 lost 97 pounds. I went skiing this winter for first time in 21 years. It has been an amazing journey.

I have not thrown up that much only when I made a mistake with my food. It is a journey that your Dr.s will take you on and will guide you thru the entire way.

Plus just think of all of us out here ready and willing to coach. I have made so many wonderful friends and feel very safe talking (blogging) to each and everyone of them. It helps to keep my paws out of the cookie jar. Best wishes imaluckydog
