A little scared

I am new at this.. I have my 6th dieation apt on Aug 30th and I also see the dr, I was going to have the lap band but I was told that my hospital will not do the band on someone who's b.m.I is over 60, and mine is and I am so scared .. ANYONE with info or words of wisdom.. I would like to hear them.... thanks

All I can say is keep plugging along.  I know in the beginning I ran into several obstacles.  But, eventually it all worked out to have the surgery.  Hope all goes well.

Hi Melissa,
Being scared is so so normal. I went between being excited for a new beginning and being scared I might die. I figured that I would most likely die from an obesity related illness so I needed to go for "it".  Just do one step at a time. It is a lifetime journey. I would make the same decision over again if I had to. Be sure you have great support & ask lots of questions.
If you pray, pray & then trust.
Hugs~

Sweet Melissa ,
This is a time of uncertainity for you for sure . Remember Melissa .. you are saving your life here .
It is scary .. challeging .... and so many other emotions . But after 6 years of doing this .. and maintaining for this long , if I can do it ANYONE CAN DO IT ...

I want you to ask yourself how bad you want this ? Do you love yourself enough to give it a gift of life ? I know these are hard questions but these are ones that maybe you have not thought of .

I feel in my heart you know what you want to do and have every feeling you are going to be a great success . You need to look in the mirror and know that that person looking back at you, loves you . Go love her back .
My bm was way over 60 ... I am 5.7 when I started I weighed 359 pounds .... today I weigh 125... and have kept it off. Take a look at our before and after picutres here ...
If you need me I am here for you .. I am also a Bariatric Life Coach and would be glad to work with  you one on one .
Love and respect ,
Natalie
