Hi my name is Courtney, I'm new to the site and still in the process of getting all my paperwork in order for the lap band. Fingers crossed I will be able to get my surgery in April. My question for those out there is what do you say to people who don't support your decision and think you should just diet and exercise? I mean I know duh....if I could have lost the weight that way I would have but here I am thinking of getting the lap band in order to lose all this weight.
My husband defintely doesn't support my decision, he thinks if I just diet and exercise the weight will come off. I am scared how the non-support will affect me after the surgery. I have told some of my co-workers and most are on board with my decision and support me but some insist I don't know what I'm doing and it's dangerous and shouldn't have to go through all that to lose weight. I don't really feel like anyone would understand my decision. Anybody's opinion would for sure help me out!!
