Not alone at all! I get banded Jan 10th and am very excited to be making this decision but mad at myself for letting me get to this point. I am a single mom of 2 young kids so the life style change will be easier I think as I don't have to prepare for a spouse. I am nervous about being on my own through this journey but excited too! I think its the unknown, but with positive thinking that we will do this and it is the decision that will change ours and our family's life we will do it! Stay in touch and we can get through it together. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Well my surgery date is Jan 10th and I am soo excited to start a new life. I am excited for myself and the new life I will have and enjoy with my young children. I am drastically over weight with a BMI of 51 how I let myself get to this is scarry but I have struggled with my weight since my late teens and I have had an extremely rough last couple years qith leaving my husband and starting a new live with the kids and I, and now its time to deal with me....my weight...I want to be active and enjoy my kids and I'm all they have! I don't know anyone that has had this surgery and I hope I can get some support and new friends to get through the life changes together. I start my pre op. diet on Dec 28th, and I have to say I am enjoying my favorite foods right now before I make my life change, like the last supper...lol...I'm ok with it as I need to make this life change to enjoy my future but for the moment I will enjoy a christmas dinner with my family and all the fixings knowing that my life is about to change and I can't wait! Please I would love to meet people that have had the surgery or about to and support each other through our exciting new step in life! Happy Holidays to everyone!
