Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Over the years, especially within the past three, I've gained a significant amount of weight and the other day I just decided that I was done being miserable and unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. I also am genetically predisposed for high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart conditions. Since I've gained weight, I can definitely feel the impact it has had on my health, which also prompted my decision. After having one of many discussions with my husband, he finally said "I support you" which made me feel better. He was primarily concerned with possible complications, losing "too much" weight, and if it would affect our ability To conceive in the near future. I encouraged him to some research to ease his concerns. I finally can feel excited about it now that I have his support.

Hello everyone. I recently decided to embark on a new journey in my life. After numerous diets, personal trainers, and gym memberships with little to no results, I've decided to pursue getting Banded. I have a consult with the surgeon on August 20th and I'm excited. I have already provided them with my insurance information and they informed me there is no waiting period (my previous insurance required 6 months of meeting with a dr and nutritionist). I can have the procedure done in as little as a month. I'm excited, but it's bittersweet because my husband thinks I'm taking the easy way out and does not agree with me having an "unnecessary surgery!"
