April Fool's band

[tinksmom 0]

Hi, I live just north of Houston and gave myself an April's Fool present of a lapband. It was supposed to be a birthday present but didn't quite make it. I heard about banding over 10 years ago, finally went to a seminar two years ago and had to think long and hard about whether to go through with the procedure. It wasn't until I met several women who were proud of their weight loss with the band and were eager to share their experiences that I went ahead. I don't mind giving up sodas and even good beer, but bread? pizza? These women assured me this wasn't necessarily true. Sooo...just had over a month out, had a first fill, eating normally, and happy with 15 lbs lost.

I SO know the feeling of anxiety over the decision on whether or not to get the lap band or not. I have a surgery scheduled for the 11th of May but I have wrestled with myself every night on if this is the right decision or not. I think I will be happy with it but there's just a lot riding on my decision. I hope that getting it makes me as happy as all the others before me. I am pretty sure at this point that I will go through with it come hell or high Water. (In our case in Nashville, high water) tee hee
