Hey guys, how ya doing? I'm yet another newbie to crash the party, all in the name of research. I"m 26, Australian, weigh 142.5kg (about 314 pounds according to google) and as I slowly creep towards my 30's - my weight is growing faster!! Lapband surgery has been suggested to me and I feel like I'm cheating by taking that route. By the blogs that I've read this seems like a common feeling. So I'm researching. I've been reading reading and reading. Hell, I've become a bit addicted to researching and have taken the day off so I can research more. Whoops. I don't know whether to suck it up and pay for the surgery in full and just get it done now (well, as soon as I am able) or to get insurance, work on my weight for 12 months and create better habits and have the surgery when I qualify under insurance (and then all my follow ups are covered as well in my thinking). So yeah, still planning stage. So that's me in a nutshell (not totally, I'm an onion really, with all the layers and such). I look forward to sharing your experiences and sharing mine in return. I've started a theraputic blog of my own if you guys wanna check out it's fromthecouchtothecatwalk.blogspot.com Peace xx
