Thank you so much!!!:redface:

So, I told my coworkers about my decision to have the lap band...the ones I thought would support me the most have been making jabs like "I brought in cupcakes today,they're really good. Can you just eat the frosting?"..."Just one won't hurt"...and constant remark like "how was your shake?"....and at Halloween the one gal even came and ate a candy bar in front of me and said "ummm...doesn't this look good?...do you miss it?" Seriously...I don't even have the band until 9-18-2009....what gives???:thumbup:

Astrasmom~first..9-18-09 is WRONG!! *lol*...I'm not having it placed until 11-18-09...silly me!!!!...secondly thank you for your words of wisdom!!! You sound like a very strong woman....how long have you been banded???....can't wait to learn more about your story! Aileen

Hey I hear ya sister!!! *laughs*...my surgery isen't until the 18th...and I've been having a hard time pulling it together!!...It's hard when you have a family to cook for. I do as well!...I guess there is no time like the present to start them on a healthier path as well!!!

Okay, so i am scheduled for surgery on the 18th of November...pre op on the 5th...if I'm not down the 5-10% do you suppose they will still do the surgery???....I may even be up a pound or 2....can't seem to get my poop in a group!!!....HELP!!!!!!:Yawn:
