Well, I am thrilled to see your entry. I am going to have the procedure with Dr. Kuri in TJ also. I am also very anxious about the emotional eating. i eat fine all day long and then graze at home in the evening. i am a recovering addict and know the feeling of helplesness and hopelessness of the addictive eating. I have only a glimmer of hope in the procedure but know that that's all I need to get started. I didn't know how I wans't going to drink and drug when I got sober but God put in my life the people and support that I needed. I trust that this is happening even now with the eating:thumbup:. I get banded on 4-24-09. How about you?
