    I am meeting with my doctor next week. I am hoping he tells me about my surgery date. I have done most of the requirements but not all; I still have 2 more support groups and a visited with the nutritionist. Things seem to be moving so fast right now it’s a little scary for me but I am hoping to have my band done by the end of summer. The rest of my appointments are all schedule for may. I am so happy am now shopping for a shake that I like. I am also trying to plan menus for me to go by on a daily basis. I am hoping to create a two weeks menu that I can alternate. I am honestly scared that I will fail at this. I want to the lap band so bad, I want it to change my life, and I hope I have it in me. I hope I have the energy to fight for this.

    I want my band in so badly. I have about 3 appt this month and I can’t wait for them. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about anything. I guess I just want to turn the page on the over weight me and start a new chapter in my life. It’s so funny when I first started this I was nervous about it but now I am happy. I finally got the support I needed from my whole family and my boyfriend. I was worried about not having enough support when I get the lap band done, because my family was not supportive especially my parents because I guess even though I am 23 they still se me as their baby girl. Ya:tongue: I am happy. I am so lucky because my boyfriend is a nurse practitioner and my mom is and RN so I know I will get good care and support after because both will take time off to be with me.

  9. :Dancing_peevedoff:Today I woke up feeling frustrated, 325 pounds the scale read. Wow 325 pounds, more than twice the size of a healthy person. “I don’t feel like am 325”, the scale may be my enemy, but it’s a candid and forthright enemy. It is that honesty that makes me realize, I want a band, I am going to band, and I am also going to try to make my long time enemy the scale my ally.

    My name is Gigi am 23 and going to have the lap band done. I have been over weight for most of my life. I realize at the age of 22 I need to change my life. For most of my life I wanted to be the over weight women with the high self esteem. It was a role I played well but the truth is I know that I was fat, and I know that I need to change my life. I am right now meeting with my doctor. I am hoping to have it done by June. I am scared of getting it done, of having surgery and how my life is going change after I have it done. However, I also think about how different my life would be after I get it done. It would be a fresh start, a chance for me to accomplish all the dreams that my weight have hindered. I am getting the lap band done despite the lack of support from my mother, father and Boyfriend of 3 years. I think the older I get the more I realize it’s about me, my needs , my wants, and my desire to evolve. I think everyone who have or contemplating of having the lap band done understand being over weight is horrible. It’s horrible because when you enter a room full of people, in the back of your mind you know the “elephant in the room” is you.
