~This is it!~

:thumbup:Ok.. so this is it!! I haven’t been this excited since the birth of my last son 6 years ago. It has been 6 years since I have felt good about myself. :frown: Weight has been a struggle for me most all of my adult life, but more so in the past 6 years. Weight Watchers, Cabbage Soup Diet, Water Diet, Inches A Weigh, Gyms, Adipex and even the Ear Stapling :ohmy: are some things that I have tried in the past. They have all worked.. I lost tons of weight two or three times over, only to gain it all back + some. The older I get, the harder it is. I am miserable.. :wink2: I have developed many health problems due to my weight. It has caused a strain on my marriage, not that we have any problems, but that I care nothing at all about sex & this is not fair to my husband. He has been more than patient and supportive of me. I am ready to get my life back. February 13th will be that day!:thumbup: I will be going to Dallas for my surgery with a friend of mine that will be having it too. I have met a few people locally that have had LAP BAND and I appreciate all the advice, tips and stories. I am nervous, but extremely anxious. My next post will be probably closer to surgery or soon right after.

Good luck and keep us posted...nice that you have a friend to go through this with!
