Well had my surgery 21/2 months ago and my life has changed forever this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Th first month was rough, but I made it through. Now I am lighter, lean and more fit than I was on my wedding day 9 years ago. Tried on my wedding dress the other night and it is a tent. Whoo hoo so excited for me. When I pass a mirror I do a double take. Just had my hair cut and colored a completely new color BLOND and clean out all my old fat clothes. Got rid of over 70 pieces...

I can't believe that I'm celebrating my 5 month anniversary already! I'm down 52 lbs so far but the most important thing that's happened in the last 5 months is that I've really truly learned that losing weight is a process. For me, it's 60% mental & 40% physical. I have learned to become mentally fit in order to get a jump start on my physical activities.
It took about 2 months post-op to prepare myself mentally to go on this journey in the healthy way. It wasn't easy in the beginning....

Today after much review and reading I've come to the decision to go through with the banding procedure. Now the process begins and I've joined this site to connect with others that are doing or have done the same. It's scarey and exciting at the same time. My husband of course is worried about many things.

So, let the process begin! I'm Ready!!!!
