So, I think I have decided to go through with surgery. So first thing is first, I'm going to set up an appointment with my surgeon, hopefully I can get in some time in April. I'm going to just talk to him about the surgery choices. I'm really thinking about Plication surgery. I d9nt care how long it'll take to get approved as long as its after July. It'd be awesome if I could get approved right off but I know I won't. Plus I just want to talk to him about it and tell him I'm interested in Plication and see what we can do from there. I don't care what my family will say, I'm doing this for myself. Yes I know its very, very scary, I'm scared too, but I don't see myself losing weight any other way, at least I will have a tool to help me half the way.

    LAP-BAND Patients

    This photo of me is my most recent photo. I took it on 3//2514. I'm at my original starting weight of 240. That's how much I weighed before going through with the Lap-Band. Icks that the 37-47 pounds that I did lose, almost instantly piled back on once I HAD to have my band removed due to infection. My mom says I haven't been trying, well, yes I have. She just doesn't want me to have surgery. But you guys I think its best for me

    Gastric Sleeve Patients

    Hello,

    I have been over weight from about the age of 10 and just continued to gain. I have decided to have surgery also. I am having the sleeve. Your weight issues are yours. We all want the approval of our family and friends, but ultimate choice to be healthy is yours. I am reading a great book about weight loss surgery. One of the topics is support. Make a pro and cons list about being over weight and one about weight loss surgery, then make copies and give it to your family. Maybe they will be there for you. You should be proud of yourself for taking this step to live a healthy life.
