Well, I never heard from the doctor's office. so I called and got an appointment. August 27th. Sounds like a long time. At the appointment, the doctor will take my medical history, examine me, and make sure there is no reason that I couldn't have the surgery. I haven't told many people that I'm considering it. Just my mom so far. And a couple people at work.
I have so many mixed feelings. This is like surrendering. Giving up. I hate to ask for help. But I need help! The member had lots of words of wisdom for me. Here's an example:
Kristi posted: I've always thought with willpower and strength I could do this on my own. I'm not one to ask for help with anything. In a way, I feel like surgery is giving up. Even though I know it isn't the easy way out.
Jessie's response: With willpower and strength you could dig a hole with your bare hands, but if you use a shovel does anybody say: oh, she's taking the easy way out. You are going to have to use willpower and strength to lose weight, you are just going to have a tool to help you.

Thanks for your comments on my blog. I hope you get approved and love your band as much as I do. So far the only problems I ever had with my band were "user error" - eating too fast and not chewing well enough. Feel free to email me anytime and ask any questions. It's great that you are doing your research and understand exactly what you are getting yourself into -- because it's not the "easy way out" as so many people think.
