Oh my God, this is so great - I was reading all about the pain and got immediately scared. Was at the point where I started to second guess myself. But, I really need to do this for me and my body. Thank you - Thank you.

<p>Hi, I haven't gotten a date as of yet - I still have a month to go with my doctor, my journal and the insurance company. However, I never thought it was a lot of pain. Where did the staples comes from? I'm getting a little scared right now. Even though I've had numerous surgeries and a baby, you guys really got me worried.

Hey and how are you? I'm in the processing of starting lap band procedure. I'm at the stage where I've been visiting my doctor for the last 5 months. I have one more month to go. I've been writing in my journal everything I've put in my mouth, from water, coffee, food and etc. My insurance will cover my procedure only because I have sleep apnae, right now I'm 234 lbs, have a bad left ankle, bad right knee (because I use my right leg to support myself, when my left ankle gives out) also, I have a bad back, high blood pressure. I was told by my doctor I'm one of the smallest person that has step foot into his office. But, I feel that with the lap band, it will help me rid the excess weight off my body and I can start feeling and looking healthier. And that is what it is all about. Me feeling healthier and good about myself.
