my goal is to loose 125 give or take...that would put me a weighing 165lbs...when this works, I'm not going to know what to do with myself....I think I was 165 when I was 14 yrs old.... I have my pre-op on Wednesday and my doctor called me the other day because they were ordering my band...is this really happening to me...it still doesn't feel real...I will let everyone know how it went as soon as I can... })i({

My banding is on Tuesday the 2nd. I am planning on going back to work the next monday. If I feel up to it though, I'm going early. My surgery was scheduled so fast, I don't have the time to take off. But, I'm not giving this up for anything. The good thing is I am being banded at the hospital I work in. Wish me luck. It's going to be here soon... })i({

I'm down in good old Brevard County. Melbourne or as we call it around here Mel-bouring. I'm being banded on 9-2...I can't wait.

I go on Tuesday Sep 2....

I want to wear a swimsuit without wondering who's looking...and most of all start a family...my weight has made it difficult to concive...9-2-08 is my day...I can't wait...

I had someone just the other day tell me that I wouldn't need to have the band if I would just watch what I ate and exercised more. I went off on them...filling them in on my PCOS problems. That shut them up rather quickly. I wish that people wouldn't assume that people with weight issues do nothing but eat... Most days I feel like I could eat nothing for days and still gain weight. Finding this site is really giving me hope that I can finally fix myself and live a better life. Thanks to everyone that shares their storied here. I finally know I am note alone in all of this...

Stephine... I share the PCOS problem, bit I have not heard of the Clomid rule. I had a 3 month try on clomid but it wouldn't take. My doc kept upping the dosage but nothing would work... I was the same size I am now. (BMI 45) I have my surgery scheldule for 9-2-08. I am supper excited and I just hope that the PCOS doesn't create any more problems for me...

So...Hello to all. I am about to embark on my banding journey on Sept 2nd. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I get to have my procedure in the hospital I work at, so I am lucky to know all of the nurses and staff that will be caring for me. I will be a starter patient for a local surgeon starting his lap-band program. But, I know this surgeon very well and trust in him and his staff completely. Well...Alittle about me. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. All through school it was a problem both emotionally and physically. After high school I was certain that I would spend the rest of my life alone. But, through some miracle I fell in love and it was reciprocated. My husband has always told me, "I love you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes...and everything in-between." Well, after about 5 years or so, we wondered why we had not gotten pregnant yet. After many test, I was told I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) The doctors told me to loose weight, well PCOS makes that very difficult. I have tried it all. So, I am looking to this procedure not only as a way to get healthy and loose needed weight, but also as a chance to finally start a family. I look foward to meeting new people here and to sharing this new part of my life. I hope we can all achive our goals and make our lives better... })i({
