I'm ready.

I have been toying with the idea of lap band surgery for over a year. A year ago, I went so far as to meet with a surgeon then chickened out. I came to the conclusion that I wasn't ready and this is such a bid deal I better be REALLY ready before I pull the trigger. So...a year later...I'm ready. I've met with another surgeon - one I liked much better than the last guy I met. I've got my calendar together so I know when what needs to happen. I've got my family onboard. I'm ready to put down all of the baggage associated with being extremely over weight. By the grace of God, I do not suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, or really any ailment associated with being morbidly obese. I've spent 25 years on diet and exercise programs. I've had temporary success only to pay for it later by gaining what was lost ++. I'm exhausted with all of it and looking for the perminate solution. I know with a little help I can be the person buried under all of this. I forgot what she's like and I'm very excited to get reacquainted.:thumbup:

Your story sounds almost identical to mind. The first group I went to were not very welcoming and I backed out. The second group of surgeons and their office were wonderful and understanding. It felt right. I had my surgery on July 28th and I'm down 39 lbs (yeah...1 more to 40) and I am loving it! Good luck as you begin your lapband journey!
