What an exciting time for you. Hang in there as the process for some can be a pain. I was lucky and my surgeons office handled EVERYTHING. But I remember the day of my beginning. What a thrill for you. Just do not get impatient, read all you can on sites like these and ask a lot of questions and you will be fine. Best decision I ever made and I am sure it will be for you as well. I suggest you start writing about the journey. Make a list of all the things you can not do know but will be able to. I had things on my list like, do my own pedicure, be able to bend over and tie my shoes with out getting light headed, fit in a booth. Small to large things on the list then check them off as you progress in your journey. Talk it up to family and friends, you will need them. As exciting as it starts the reality is, not every one can hang with it. It is not always as easy as the band is just a tool, we have to decide if it will be a tool we allow to work for us. Having strong support is a must to success. But it is worth every right decision you make. Plan to follow the doctors directions to a T. I had awesome success when I follow him. Honestly this gave me Hope that I thought was all gone. I am so excited as you start your journey. I will be here to cheer you along and help you in your journey that is just the beginning, but will last and benefit you a life time. Keep me posted on how things go!
