Hi there ! I was reading your message and I too am a NEWBIE! I have my first appt in Sept so just looking thru here and reading has been helpful. I have around 100 lbs to lose as well and its almost too much to say it out loud! If you wanna chat or talk email me ...we could all use a little help along the way.... Lisa....

Hello my name is Lisa I am 35 years old Im currently looking into the Lapband surgery and would love to hear from someone who has already gone thru this. I,too have read this site and even though I wanna lose weight am scared to make a move!!I made my appt to see the Dr.so hopefully with a little support I'll get over my fears. I have been overweight my entire life so I have never known thin. I have two sons 5 and 9 and just recently my 5 year has begun telling me I am fat! Wow how that hurts! Its not like I dont know that I am its just hearing it from him just seemes to affect me more than words. My husband has always been suportive and never ever critized me but truth is IM TIRED OF BEING OVERWEIGHT. Im starting to have health problems now ( Diabetes, High Blood Pressure ect.) and I wanna be around for my kids. Plus for once I would love to look into a mirror without looking away! Ive tried every diet known to man and even though Ive lost max 20 lbs I always manage to gain that and then some back. This surgery sounds like its the best option but obviously Im scared and well just a little nieve to the process.:tongue_smilie: Thank You, Lisa....

Hi there! Im also a newbie! Just starting the process though! Reading your post kept me in stitches I felt like I was reading my own story! You have such a GREAT attitude and I wish all the best! Lisa...

Hi and thank you for your reply! I guess I was just wanting to know from someone who has been thru it how it was? Would you do it again? Any problems ect..? In my heart I really want to make a change but like I said Im soooooo sick of failing and feeling bad about my myself. The funny thing is I actually question if I can do it! I think that after 35 years I can safely say food is my friend and I wouldnt be overweight if I didnt like the taste ..So do you miss it? I guess Im just loaded with the what ifs. Or perhaps just scared who knows but nevertheless thank you for answering me. Lisa......
