Soooooooooo... I think I'm getting back in the right mindset and getting over the fact that as bad as I want to, I can't have the surgery close to home. Since New Orleans is sooooo far away and Little Rock was just RUDE I decided to call the last alternative on my plan which was SWC in Dallas, TX. I wish I would have just started with them. They were VERY quick to get back with me and very nice. They are sending my info to the doc for review. Then based on that they will set me up with an appt. :crying: We'll see how this one goes. :biggrin:

WoW! You need to not let others discourage you. I know it's hard. Some maybe jealous... some may have legit concerns. Either way you're not going this for them.. your doing it for you. I am not banded yet, but I have always gotten positive feedback from everyone I have talked to. I think it's a blessing. I wish you the best of luck!

I hate this. I feel like I'm back at square one again. I'm not even sure if the band is for me. I keep thinking have I really given traditional weight loss a chance? I know i've tried diets before and it always comes back because you fall off the wagon... but isn't that what the band is? Changing how much/what you eat? You can manipulate the band and eat most anything you want and how much you want. How do I know I'll have enough will power to stick with it after I have spent all that money. :biggrin: I am starting back on Atkins thursday. (I pray I have the will power.) Afterall that is how they want you to eat after you get banded. So at least I'll be used to eating that way if I do go forward with it. I hate this...

Thank you soooo much Angelica. You are totally right. I just think I have gotten discouraged that things didn't work out as I had planned them to. Maybe i'm more of a control freak than I thought! lol I do know I need the band. I am weak when it comes to food and I fear I always will be without it. And I in no way shape form or fashion like to puke or feel like i'm choking. So once I PB it's over. I'd never try it again. I am probably going to be the one that stays on liquids alot lober for fear that I will PB or choke! lol Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it!!!

Those all sound wonderful!!!

What an awesome idea!!!
