Hi Finallyncontrol Thank you so much for your offer of advice, I am sure I will take you up on that very soon lol Where in Maine are you from? You have so well with your weight loss how hard have you found it? My stomach is in knots! I am dreading tomorrow :smile2: I think the thing I am worrying about most is having to do it on my own. The hospital is 2 and half hours away so they are sending a car to collect me at 4.30am. As I have got 3 kids my husband has to look after them and I havent got anyone who could have them overnight. I know its silly worrying but I just cant seem to relax, I am sure I will be fine once I get there. Wish me luck! xxx

Hi I have just joined this site and its fantastic! The buddy system is such a great idea, I know I would really benefit from some support. I am due to get my band on Monday and I'm torn between really looking forward to it and excited, to being very nervous and scared! I have been following a 1000 cal diet for the last week and have lost 8lbs so far, so I am feeling quite positive. My first target is to get to 168lbs, if, or really I should say when :thumbup:, I get there I will decide if I need to loose some more. My life is about to become very hectic over the next few weeks as in just over 4 weeks I am emigrating from the UK to Maine USA. I realised that if I didnt get this op now I never would. I have psos and have fibromyalgia so after the last few years of being unable to be active the weight has just crept up and up. I am married with 3 kids and I am doing this for them as much as myself, I want to me the kind of person who takes part in life instead of watching from the sidelines. Best wishes to all of you on this journey. xxx

Hi Dirtroads, thanks for the welcome, both to the board and the US. Have you had a band done yet? I agree pcos does not help with weight issues, that and eating too much lol, I am just hoping it doesnt mean weight loss will be too slow even with the band. xxx

Hi Everyone I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am due to get my band on Monday and I'm torn between really looking forward to it and excited, to being very nervous and scared!

I am really glad I have found this website, its such a good idea to get support from people who are going through the same thing. Good luck to you all out there, I hope we all get the success we desire. xxx
