Hey yall. My name is Nina. Im 27 and am working on the 6 mth wait period and will decide at the end if I want to have the surgery. I was gonna have the gastric bypass but it is way to final. If that makes since. I dont want to drop the pounds that drastically I want a less risky and a loss of weight that will be at a slower rate that way I can work on my muscles, excesses skin, and self esteem. I dont want to go from fat to skinny over night. I think a slower weight loss is better. So Im thinking of getting the lapband but Im scared. I have had a lot of health issues. About 7 mths ago I had Congestive Heart Failure and diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. When diagnosed I had a 3 yr old and a beautiful 4 day old (now 7mths old) at home. I am determined to be healthier and to live to see my kids grow up. In the past 7 mths I have joined Curves and have been working out and trying to eat better (cutting portions also). Lately I have slacked but I gotta get back on track. Ok Im sorry this is so long but I figured I would tell it all while i can lol.

my ef when I was diagnosed was 40-45 (which is not as bad as alot of people) according to the docs its now around 55. I think im having a setback though cause my ankles are swollen and i gained some weight this past week really quick, but im currently trying to come down sick so i dont know if this persistent cough and little weez is from my heart or whatever cold im trying to get u know.
