Excited- Got A Surgery Date

[BthSlim 0]

First time posting. I've stalked for about 6 months. Got my surgery date for April 13th. I'm excited, but scared. Just want to be successful. Really want to make the changes in my life, but can I?

Welcome to the group! I'm so happy you decided to post. Having a date scheduled makes it seem real, doesn't it?

I want to get control of my food issues and believe we all possess the power to change if we'll make the commitment. So yes, you definitely can make the choice to do it!

..and this is the question that each one of us has had to deal with. Yes, you can, and we all can. the power of positive thinking .

I asked that very same question...and i think it is natural since for most of us this isn't our first attempt at losing. I have tried just about every diet/gimmick out there and have failed. When I start to doubt I go on here and read the Lap Band Success stories and view the before and after pics and it motivates me and lets me know that this can really be done. It's not a gimmick it is a REAL medical procedure that is designed to help me loose weight... I think that going to a counselor or support group is a big part of the process for behavior modification as well. We can all do this...
