HI I,M NEW HERE AND VERY EXCITED,APPREHENSIVE, AND FRUSTRATED. I'M SO INTERESTED IN ACCOMLPLISHING MY GOAL. FRUSTRATED THAT I HAVE TO WAIT 6MONTHS BEFORE I CAN HAVE THE SURGERY, D/T INSURANCE REASONS, I REALLY WANT TO SEE RESULTS WITH EXERCISE AND THE BAND TOGETHER, THAT WILL KEEP ME MOTIVATED. LASTLY, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A SKELETON, LIKE THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THE GASTRIC BYPASS THAT LOOK SICKLY.
