My 1st post and I just joined last night. Anxious and nervous as most of you postees. 2 jan is BAND day...can't believe I won't be eating 2 plates of food per sitting..but everything that is wrong with my body is weight related...cholestrol, bpressure,adema, joints, back, and now type 2 diabetes. I must do this but fear is creeping in. My anorexive wife is against it. no support from the home front.
