need support

this is my fist day on this forum. I am interested in getting the lap band and i am very nervous and scared about the procedure. I have a consultation appointment scheduled for july 1. I have been overwight all my life and I am tired of it now and really am desperate. I need to know is the procedure worth it?

It is if you are ready. The procedure is the least of your worries. Prepare your mind, family and body, become well informed on what you are getting into and what is expected of you.Be willing to make some hard choices/changes.

The more knowledge you have the less fear you will have.

Good luck.

What ajoneen said, and then some.

If you're ready for the lifestyle changes that come with it, then yes, its the best thing ever. If you aren't, it could be your worst nightmare.
