Magnoliamiss~ It's only natural to be scared and worried. Believe me I was too! I must say though I'm only a little over 2 months post op and I love my band!!! I think you are making the best decision you could ever make.

I live in Byhalia Ms. Which is about 20 miles from Memphis Tn. How far is Laurel from here? We should try and meet some time. I know of 2 bandsters that live in the same area I do that post on LBT. We might have to make us a Magnolia bandster bash!!! L

Good luck on getting your band and let us know how you are after surgery!!! l

Hey! Laurel is 70 miles from the coast..I lived in Jackson for 16 years..and we went to Memphis a fairly often. It is so great to know Im not alone here. The place where im having my surgery is two and a half hours from my home,,so I wont be attending the after care. It will be important for me to communicate with others..This board will help!!

THanks for the good wishes and advice~

THANKSSSSSS!!
I appreciate the offer..Im sure i will be asking you a lot..I am trying to remember how excited I was when i made this decision..and how it will feel to be smaller..the fear has a way of clouding that..ya know??

I know Terri it was really hard for me not to be scared at first. You have all these what ifs??? running through your head. You will feel so releved that its all over and you will be recovered and back to normal life real soon. The first 6 weeks is the hardest. Going through the food stages and all but it does get better and when you see the pounds coming off you will see that the band will help you lose the weight and you will be so thrilled you went through with getting banded!! Hang in there and remember your not alone you got all of us on LBT!!!!
