I'm so excited! I was really worried. I just turned 40. eek, but what a great gift.

Ok, in reality, I didn't think they would, but I've been reading everything I can find.

I think I'm a quantity eater, I just don't stop when I need to and I don't feel full. I'm worried about this. Plus I'm rather picky and that puts a fear in me.

I want to succeed, and I know it takes work. My biggest fear is that I will fail like I usually do. I've been gung ho obviously in the past and then bam. I wish I could figure it out totally.

I know this is a tool. Is it an AWESOME tool and will it really help me? I just want HELP, I know it doesn't do it for you. I guess I want a guarantee that it will really help me. I don't think it exists.

Honey I am here to tell you that it WILL help you if you let it! I was banded Aug.22 and I still cant believe how much it helps me. Before I got banded it was so hard to stick to a diet but now it is not hard at all. It is not really a diet you just have to watch what you eat and how much you eat. It is not going to let you eat to much without making you hurt. You will learn when you need to stop. If you will just take a few bites and say ok am I still hungry and I bet your answer will be no. That is when you need to get up from the table. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! I'm super excited. I feel like this is my time, but I've failed so many times and I don't want to again.

I'm also a freak about shots and here I am picking something that needs needles.
