I am going for my consult on Friday, am so excited and nervous and the same time. I keep envisioning my new self and can't wait to see her. I have been heavy most of my life. I am tall and have been able to "hide" my true weight pretty well, but there is no doubt that I am heavier than I should be. I have always felt like the ugly duckling with my friends, being the tallest and biggest, I always stood out. Yes, this has made me self conscious and a lil' shy. I have struggled with being the center of attention and speaking in public. I worry about what people say and think of me. So I try to lay low (as much as I can) and be a wall flower. So, with this new journey approaching soon, I can't wait. I am nervous about the surgery and the whole liquid diet ( does this actually keep you feeling full?) Does the band actually make you feel full with less food and continue to make you feel full longer? These are the things I worry about...
Thank you to all who have read this and good luck to everyone.

Lap Band fueled by disabling injury?
· princesslea · 04/08/11 09:27 AM
Hi Everyone! I have reading through a lot of great posts with some great information from all of you, but I didn't see any relating directly to weight loss for injury relief. I was advised to have the Lap Band done do to severe back problems. I have tried many, many diets and have lost but then gained back and in some cases, more than I lost. Because of my injury I am limited to exercise and battle creeping weight that has been added since the injury. I was curious how many others are having or have had the same experience that I have had. How many of you have chosen Lap Band as a weight loss alternative to help alleviate pain and or help with it? How many have already had it done and have already started seeing good results on your problem areas? I would love for any of you to write in and share your experiences (good or bad) with me on this topic. Thanks for you support.
