No Small Change!

[Ducker 59]

Hello All-

First of all, let me say I am so happy to be here! I previously belonged to the lap band forum. Oddly, at first I felt like I was cheating on them. LOL. Anyway, I am so glad that I did start on the lap band forum since I was intially considering LapBand. However, all of their very candid entries led me to believe that the Band was not for me, especially after seeing how many banders had already or were in the process of revision to sleeve. So, their honesty was a blessing since it gave me a very accurate picture of what I DON'T want. I know this journey will by no means be easy, but I am ready to do the work and can't wait for this change!

My surgery is scheduled for 9/28 and I am just beside myself with anticipation, not fear, anticipation. So, thank you all in advance for welcoming me into your circle and for all the feedback that you have candidly shared to help me get here. I really appreciate it.
