  1. You look fantastic! I know what you mean about feeling out of place in certain stores - it's not a good feeling. Congratulations on your success to date...

    Any other September 2013 bandsters?

    I had to bump my date by a week because I forgot my daughter had a soccer tournament that weekend. So I am now booked for Friday, September 13th (good thing I'm not superstitious!). I have to confess, I nearly changed my mind. I found myself thinking that I will never be able to enjoy myself on vacation again, I will never eat x, y and z again, I'm going to throw up if I make a mistake and eat too much (I have a real vomiting phobia - haven't done it since I was a child) etc. My husband put it all I'm perspective when he said "it's just food". I will still be able to travel and I will still be able to taste new foods when travelling (in small portions). Food doesn't have to be the focus of the vacation. I also thought I might just try losing weight on my own again, but I have never been able to maintain the weight loss. I've been struggling with my weight for close to 15 years and I am so tired of it. I'm sure you can all relate...

    I am new to this site as well. I am tentatively booked for September 6th. I need to lose about 100lbs and am feeling overwhelmed but committed . I live in Canada.

    Hi there, just wondering if you ever found a support group in Ottawa. I have decided to get the lap band done (should have done it 2 years ago when I first considered it and now I would be done!). I live in Ottawa and am planning to go to SWLC in Mississauga. Now that I've made my decision, I hope I can get it done soon. It sounds like you had a positive experience: congratulations on your weight loss so far!
