so done with it all

i was happy to see your success over 17 months. that is encouraging. i am preop with late january banding planned , pending insurance approval . (new policy effective jan1). i am scared and excited, especially when i read posts from people who claim to lose very little. feel free to motivate me anytime. i am a 49 yo nurse, wife, and mom. sums it up , doesn't it! have a good one. peg
