Ok I don"t know where this will show up but I am going in the morning for pre admission tests tomorrow and will be banded on the 25th of junein Ypsilanti MI. Wish me luck and say a prayer that evewrything will be ok and Iwill do the same for you. Thanks If your interested I am blogging on Obesityhelp.com

my wife and family do not want me to be banded but I decided I was doing it more for me and my health, than for them. I will be scheduled for surgery in late june and they are less resistant at this time. I know if I don't do this now I will die a premature death which I would like to avoid. Make the decision for you not them or him.

Holly, I am 54 yrs old and have been over weight all my life I was told I was obese when I weighed 240 and went to the police academy and actually gained 10 lbs in 1977. Since then I have lost and gained hundreds of pounds and lost my gall bladder to boot. I have researched the lap band for the last 5 yrs or so and have been talked out of it by my family. I recently developed knee problems and have decided that I am being banded for myself and no one else. I just wish I had done this yrs ago. My surgery date will be scheduled for late June or early July good luck and don't worry about what others think , they will back you when you decide it is right for you.

Hopefully I will be banded in late june or early july 09 and I will b e following your progress. Hopefully I won't be as hungry as you

I have been considering this for the last 3 years and my wife and family were against it saying the same things that your husband has said. I recently went and talked to the Doctor for me and no one else. I decided that this is best for me and even though I was given stiff opposition at first, I am getting the surgery for me if I pass the stress test next week. My wife and family i.e. children, siblings and parent are not giving me anymore crap about it. There just comes a time when you and only you must make the decision. Good luck
