Excited and scared newbie!

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 have been following a 1000 cal diet for the last week and have lost 8lbs so far, so I am feeling quite positive.

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 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.

I just wanted to offer encouragement. I too have PCOS and I wonder if that is the reason I cannot get the weight off. I know that it sure doesn't help matters.

Anyway, best of luck to you and welcome to the US!

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.
