So Im getting very excited!! As it stands right now, I will be having the lap band surgery done in January! YAY!! I cant wait! I have been doing the pre diet thing and going to my weigh ins like I am supposed to, I have done the dietician class, and now just have 2 more weigh ins and the physical therapy appointments. I have told some people I am getting this and all have been very excited!!! I havent said anything to my inlaws because I am afraid of them putting me down for it. I am 4ft 9inches and weigh 193 lbs. I have dieted lost weight but always seem to gain it back plus some no matter how hard I try. I hope everything goes through with my insurance (the Dr assures me it will) and I can get this done so I can start losing and feeling better about myself. It seems like my self esteem is so low. I hate shopping for clothes because it feels like no matter what I buy its not going to look good.
