I am 29 years old and am in the process of getting lap band surgery. I currently weigh in at ....261.(...aghhh...this is more than when I had my son-- I am so ashamed to say). Well, I have researched lap band alot and the benefits seem to far outweigh any associated risks. So...I attended a seminar, and have went to my 1st surgeons visit. On Friday May 16th I have to have my psych eval, and then we can send all the paperwork into my insurance company. Hoping for a June surgery date...we'll see.
More about why I want a lap band.....
I have been overweight since puberty struck....it was over from there. I think I have tried every diet out there (even the Cabbage soup diet....gross). This New Year's Resolution---LOSE WEIGHT----failed miserably and I have actually gained 10 lbs. So a friend at work had the procedure last year and is doing amazingly....she is my 2nd inspiration. My first is my son...he is 3 adn I want to be around to see him grow up and to see his kids. I currently don't have medical treated comorbidities (I do have reflux, knee and leg pain). However, my mother died at age 43 with her 2nd heart attack, and my dad at age 59 with complications from high blood pressure....so I have decided to get my obesity under control NOW...before I do have some serious comorbidities....
And I was so excited to find this website. All of the before and after pictures are so inspiratonal....I will SUCCEED this time!!!!!
And so I will keep you updated....
