I hope you find out soon the results!! I hope you dont have to postpone the lapband but I also hope the Doctors do the safest thing for you. Dont give up hope though if you have to postpone, just tell yourself its the best thing for you to do. =) Hope all works out well!!

Nicole- I am currently staying in Newington, CT but working at Childrens Hospital there in Hartford. =)

Thank you ladies for the responses!!! =) Makes it even more exciting knowing others are on your side and know what your going through! -Nicole- I do not meet the surgeon and have my first appointment until September 26th. Because I am currently in Connecticut for a nursing job and won't be back in Ohio until that time. The same day I meet with the surgeon, I will also meet with the dietician and the psychologists I believe. =)

Hello Everyone! My name is Emily and I am from the Cincinnati area in Ohio. I am 27 and have struggled with my weight since about the 3rd grade. I've tried many different diets, including South Beach and weight watchers numerous times. I had success at the time with weight watchers but as soon as a fell off the wagon it was all down hill from there. I have always had a problem with eating way too much but the problem is I usually never feel full no matter how much I eat. Like I have always joked with my family and friends I tell them "I have a never ending stomach." Im tired of it though. Im tired of always feeling tired and down on myself. Im tired of the lack of self esteem. I have become a traveling RN over the last year and I know that I would have much more fun if I had the self confidence I know I could have. At this point I have turned to getting the Lap Band surgery done. I will be self paying for the surgery. I do not have that much money but luckily enough I have family who are willing to loan me some because they know this will make me happy. I have researched this procedure inside and out and have been reading many posts from you all on this website, which I find very helpful. I will be meeting with the Surgeon and team as soon as I get home from this work assignment, September 26th is the date. I can't wait! I feel like time is standing still. That is a little background into my struggles and why I am here. I look forward to talking with many of you and reading more of your posts. Feel free to send me messages or comments if you would like, any friends going through or having gone through this is welcome! =) Thanks! -Emily-
