Some family members that I wish didnt, found out about me having it done too. They like to run their mouths and I wish they never knew. BUT, bottom line is I did this for me, no one else. IF I fail, I've failed myself. I have a responsibility to myself to make it work. This is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. In some area or another someone is ALWAYS going to talk smack about you. You can't control it. Spend ur energy doing what's right for you, getting you healthy. Don't waste any time on the garbage. You need to focus on you. THEY can go suck a duck. Best of luck to you. Be strong and focus!!!

Hi Friends! I am also offically banded! Went in at 7am and home by 2pm. I was very nervous this morning and so very glad when I woke up. I am sore..sorta feels like I got punched in the gut. The pain med Lortab is wonderful and helping, as is walking a bit. I'm not having terrible gas pains at this point. Hope it stays that way. I am so ready to be active and healthy again. I went in this morning weighing 248lbs. I can't wait to be who I feel inside and do all the things I used to and more. I feel so blessed for this opportunity to better myself. I know not everyone has this option. I hope and pray that I make the right choices and don't end up having this for nothing. I don't think I will..guess I am just a little afraid of failure. Anyone else having those thoughts or am I just being crazy???? Kudos to all you strong people!!! I hope to put up some pics soon and a ticker ....I'm not very good at this stuff but I will try. Take care everyone! God Bless! :smile2:
