Hi, I am very new to this, and I just made the decision that I want to change for the better and have comitted to a Lap-Band. I am looking for someone to talk to about this, who could offer a little advice and encouragement. I am new to the Lubbock area and really don't know many people. I am doing this with only my husband and kids in my corner, my family and parents are totally against this procedure. They feel like I am taking the "easy way" out, which hurts me because after failed diet after diet and gaining and regaining any weight I had lost, I had lost only my hope to make any kind of progress with my battle with my weight. I would just like a girlfriend to talk to who understands what I am going through and who could offer advice and help. I am a 37 year old mother of two, my son is 13 and my daughter is 14 and I have devoted my life to my kids and husband, putting myself last.... and now it has caught up to me but now I understand that I need to take care of myself as well if I am to be around long enough to care for and be in my kids and loved one's lives. Like I intend on, lol ok well I hope to hear from you ladies, I have read a few topics here on this site and am very happy to see so much encouragement and possitivity!

I'm also in the Lubbock area (Levelland) and am interested in the lap band. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi, I'm in Lubbock TX. I have just started looking into the Lap-Band procedure. I am really new to the area as well, and would appreciate any info you could give me if you are in the Lubbock area.
