Welcome!! It does make things more difficult without the support of family but maybe they'll come around when they see what great positive changes will be made in your life?!? This is an exciting time when you start counting down the days 'til BandDay. Have fun continuing to peruse around this sight...definately info on anything-lapband! By the way, your pic is downright gorgeous....Beautiful face

We certainly will support you here as well as God and your friends. It does make it a little harder when you don't have family support, but you have to do what's best for you and your future health. Good luck to you on Band Day and make sure to keep in touch with us following the surgery, we will be behind you 110%.

Best Wishes!!! I hope you have an easy surgery day and a quick recovery! We will be behind you even if your family isn't. They will come around when they see you getting healthy and happy i"m sure!!

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE SUPPORT AND COMPLIMENTS GUYS! I want to start journaling through my pics and take one on monday when i start my pre-op diet and the day of surgery and go on from there. Hard to take a good pic when i live alone, but i'll figure it out. Last nite I went through the before and after pics and was inspired even the more. I 'm so excited and cant wait to start my journey, well i guess i kinda already have! LOL

Thanks again everyone for your support. Please those of you who havent been banded yet if you ever wanna email me more private questions i willl be an open book.
