I'm getting my band sometime in the next few weeks. I go in on Monday to set the appointment and start my diet that day as well. I want SO bad to tell everyone about it (Facebook!) but I'm scared as to what they'll say. I'm excited and sooo ready to do the surgery and no one will take that from me, but I'm not strong enough to deal with the negativity right now and I'm sure there will be someone that won't agree with my decision! Only my mother, boyfriend, and 3 close friends know about me getting it and 2/3 of the friends have had weight loss surgery, neither banded though!
