Has anyone had success with the 1st fill??? I am getting my 1st fill Friday and I was wondering if it is possible to have some success? I know it takes time but is there any chance it will work on the first try.

I just realized the other day that by Christmas I could weigh less than my husband. Even when we were 17 I always weighed 10 lbs. more...but after the kids I of course went WAAAYYY past him. It is possible I can for the first time weigh less than him. Congrats!!

I am nervous, but excited. I have only lost 4 lbs. on the pre-op diet and I need to lose 12! That is really worrying me...I only have 5 days left. My name is Angel and I will be traveling with my sister Megan. I am really happy to be having the surgery, but I am from a rural area and people just don't take off to Mexico to have medical procedures. I haven't told many people about this trip. I think about how my life will change after the surgery, and can I do it. I just have so many things on my mind it races at night and I can't sleep.

I am getting VERY nervous. I'll be banned on 9/15.

I also fly in on the 14th and have surgery on the 15th. I start the pre-op diet in the morning and I am really nervous about sticking it out.

Thanks Just4me...I needed that

I am scheduled to be banded Sept. 15. I am leaving 9/14 with my sister for TJ...and frankly I am scared. Scared that I am leaving my three kids to go to MEXICO for surgery...and scared if I don't they will not get to enjoy the mom I want to be to them. The surgery is a huge expense for my husband and mself and I want it to be successful so badly...yet I have doubts. Nothing I have tried has worked with "great" success so what if this doesn't either? I enjoy reading all your post and they have really encouraged me. I am at my highest weight and miserable. Most people the small rural community we live in would think I am crazy for even thinking of this, but all the wonderful success stories have helped me focus. Thank you and best wishes to each and everyone:)
