:huh2:I've just had my 2nd fill since my original banding in april of this year.I have not gone to any support group meetings or participated in any online forums either-guess I thought I could do it all myself. I DON'T THINK SO! It sure is easy to fall back into old patterns of behavior-no matter how determined I was at the beginning and never mind the horrendous loan I'm paying off. I need support.I cannot do this by myself--I'm so used to being self reliant it is difficult for me to ask for help(I want everybody to think I'm perfect although I'm far from it).I started out great--eating mindfully but now I'm back to eating in front of the tv,eating too fast,too much,too often --any suggestions?

I'm having lap band surgery on april 22nd and I'm really nervous-am I doing the right thing? My doctors told me I pretty much had to if I wanted to live longer than 5 more years-that scared me. I do want to see my son get married and see my grandkids.I worry that I Will not be able to change my bad eating habits although I am committed to this surgery.Is it normal to have all these doubts and mixed feelings? I've told a few people about the surgery-got several different responses.I do not feel that this surgery is the easy way out -anybody ever tell you that? What is the best piece of advice you can give me to prepare myself for this great adventure?:teeth_smile::ohmy:
