Bandida

Reading all your comments have made me a little less nervous. I guess everyone goes through their own different thing. I'm glad I've found a place where I can express my thoughts with other people who understand or on the same wave length... :huggie: I'm glad i found this site!

Thank you everyone for your support. It's s onice to see there are so many people in the same boat. I'll keep you updated. My last appointment to see the surgeon before the surgery is 1/16 and then my pre-op testing is on 1/23....Wish me luck!!!!

Hello all! I'm new to this but here I go... I've been overweight all my life, but after my first pregnancy it went down hill....:cry I tried EVERYTHING from weight watchers to gyms, to meds:( ..I did loose 40 pounds but that was during my last pregnancy through which I was a gestational diabetic. ( I was very controled them because my child's life was on the line.) Once my son was born (VERY HEALTHY) I held the weight off for almost a year and then my thyroid and PCOD ended that... My Lap-Band experience began in September of 2006 and my surgery is scheduled for January 26th (16 days away:rockon: )...What can I say...I've lost 20 pounds in the interim (following the diet the nutritionist and I worked on):clap2: I'm excited, happy but also nervous...If you have any advice, words of wisdom or encouragement.....I could really use it. My husband supports me 200% but there are always other people who need to add their 2 cents and sometimes that's all their words mean... I hope to hear from you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!:hippie:
