I'm having lapband done next month... still a little unsure about how I feel about all this. its crazy. this sense of balance. I hope I can obtain good results. I'm choosing not to tell anyone that I'm having it, because my cousin had it and made this giant specticle out of it. for me its about health, not looks. I have high self esteem. and thankfully other than being heavy, am in perfect health. thank the lord. unfortunately, the family history of bad health hitting later in life is the downside. so, we'll see how this goes.
