Unsure

Should I be scared ? I have not been banded and I don’t know what to think of this as crazy as this may sound I’m afraid of what the new me might be like ? I love the way I am now but I want to stay healthy for many more years and by my track record that wont be long if I don’t do something and soon . That is why I have begun this journey . But I’m like a puppy with my tail between my legs .. For years I have said I can do this by myself and I have but I have not had long term success

I know what you mean. I am still waiting for approval. I am anxious and the waiting is hard then I remember why I want to do this...the sweetest two things in my life, Caleb and Caden, my grandsons. I have in the past "been there, done that, never got the t-shirt", done it on my own but always wind up in this same spot.

I know everyone here has been in the same place and will be a great source of help and information.

Good luck to you and remember, we can do this and we can do it together.

Aww thank you for your replay and your words mean so much . And I think if would be great to have someone to talk to about this . I love my family and they support whatever I do . But I have felt a little alone in it all . We talk about my surgery and stuff like that but they cannot relate to what I’m going threw and what is to come in the future . So I would love to have a buddy to talk to and relate to together we stand strong! :blush:

hi

i know you are nervous just talk with your doc about your concerns and remember the band is just a tool and for some it works slow until they figure out how to work it..

for me im amazed every day at how little food i need to live and feel healthy...i eat like a bird now and im happy with that..
