It took us a while too... and I'll be honest - I'm banded for 14 months now, and sometimes I still think about the "if I get skinny"... not when - and I've lost 75 pounds! It DOES HAPPEN... sometimes the brain doesn't keep up and other times it jumps ahead. If you can keep on with therapy, it is a wonderful thing. Blogging has actually done that for me vs. the hour a week that I was finding a bit dull. (whoops - did I say that out loud? LOL...)... at any rate, good luck - the worries and fears are completely normal! Welcome to the band-blog world!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272835472155583191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144181805749574562.post-16207705030082136762010-04-21T09:03:10.905-07:002010-04-21T09:03:10.905-07:00First of all, I'm so glad you got a lovely lit...First of all, I'm so glad you got a lovely little girl. I too wondered about the "if". Mine has been 45 years of trying everything and nothing was permanent. This time it is. I can now say when I lose the weight it will stay off. This is the only hope I have to keep alive and well so maybe that is part of it but keep going. I didn't have a long time between decision and surgery as I was self-pay but it still is a discovery of ourselves. I don't think I ever got this deep with any other "diet". Blogging (and reading blogs) has been my saviour. Welcome to our world and glad I found your blog. If you would like more followers (and more comments), leave a lot of comments on blogs you like and also leave your link. Good luck on the journey. You will so get there.

I'm hoping to get banded in July, so we'll be going through a lot of the same stuff at the same time. If you want, I'd love to have you follow my blog so we can support each other. <br /> http://wishingandhopingandprayingforaband.blogspot.com/<br /><br />And by the way, don't feel like you can only post about band stuff. I'm so glad your story ended happy and you have a beautiful daughter. I have 2 girls - 11 and 14 - and love them so much. <br /><br />Take care.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144181805749574562.post-30705741537349279952010-04-20T15:43:48.291-07:002010-04-20T15:43:48.291-07:00YEAH!
