Thank you so much Holly. Your kind words mean a lot. He is hesitant because he's scared there are going to be complications involved with the surgery and he doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. He is overweight as well. I just need some kind of help. I think the lapband would be a good gateway for better things. But there is a lot other things I am worried about. Like Cost? Being out of work for a certain period of time? Recovery time and journey? I guess i just am all over nervous.

Hello, I am a 20 year old normal girl. I live in Cleveland, Ohio with my boyfriend and work as a banker. I am not comfortable in my own skin. I am very overweight and I feel as if I have exhausted all my options. Ive dieted, bought a treadmill, punching bag and weight bench. Still nothing. I need some sort of guidance. I don't know if Lapband surgery is right for me. I am very apprehensive and lost. My boyfriend doesn't think it is a good idea. I just don't know where else to turn. I feel so helpless. No matter what I do, the weight doesn't go anywhere. Its getting so bad, that I'm starting to have body pains, feeling fatigued all the time, just all over heavy. I'm worried about my health. I just feel sick. I am only 5 foot 3 inches, and weigh about 260 lbs. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.... Sincerely, Fed up.
