Andyourewelcome 0 Posted February 21, 2012 I am so excited to say I'm getting banded on March 2nd by Dr. Marsden of True Results Richardson. I'm keeping this mostly to myself. I want to surprise people as I slowly become the beautiful person on the outside as I am on the inside. I've been an avid reader of this site as I've convinced myself this is for me. Unfortunately, my company won't cover the surgery until I work there for 5 years. So, I'm paying half since they'll cover the hernia operation. I know it will be the best money I've ever spent. I am also having my "golden" birthday in the 28th so I'm considering this the gift to myself. Thanks to all of you guys. You've helped get me started on the journey. I hope you'll continue with me on my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted February 21, 2012 Best of luck to you. I do not have my surgery date (yet) but am working on my pre op schedules. I understand what kind of journey this is. You are like me. I have only let 2 people know what I am doing here at work. I am pretty much ashamed of what I look like, but am doing something about it. Just like you. Hang in there. I will watching and reading your posts to see how your journey is going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
