Its getting closer and closer to Jan 15th and I haven't worked up the nerve to tell my parents that I'm having the surgery. I just can't. I'm really trying to avoid anything negative before that day comes. My first time having surgery and I'm nervous as hell,but excited at the same time. My best friend tells me all the time, that it doesn't matter what anybody else may think about me having it done. at the end of the day, all that matters is me being happy with myself. So.I've made the decision to tell them after I get it done and hopefully,they will not feel betrayed.

All my life,I let other people make important decisons for me,not anymore. I'm standing up for myself and what I need to do to make me happy. I had to vent because I was feeling bad,but my secret is my choice to share........

You are right. It is your desicion to make. My family doesn't know about my surgery. I will tell them when I get closer to goal because I want them to get banded too. I don't know if I will ever tell my friends. Hubby and best friend know. You have to do what is right for you. It is YOUR journey. 2009 is your year! I can't wait to see what we all do with it!

hey, I got banded on the 29th of Dec, hurts like hell, but I have lost 12 lbs already, do ya thang mama!! Its all about you.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT. WISHING YOU ALL MANY BLESSINGS FOR 2009 AND YES,ITS OUR YEAR! NO TURNING BACK.....JUST LOOKING FORWARD>>>>>>>>>>>
