  1. I have been going through the pre-diets and the diet pills for almost a year now. I am going to see the surgeon next week and I am also very anxious about the whole thing; however, about a year ago I faced the fact that I have several conditions with my heart and have had a small heart attack and am likely to have a stroke. I also just found out that I have sleep apnea. I am a 32 year old mother of two boys ages 4 & 2. I never considered myself as "that big" but when I was faced with the possibility of not seeing my children grow up and not seeing my grand-children born I changed my mind. I am not able to play with my children. That is what made my decision (My children). You have to find what it is that has made you decide to do the surgery in the first place. I know that the outcome is definitely worth the surgery. I look forward to being able to play with my children and watching them grow up.
  2. Hi, My name is Candy and I'm a 32 year old mother of 2 from Jackson, TN. I am looking for a good doctor in Memphis to do my lap-band surgery. I have been working with my cardiologist and general physician for the past year to make sure I met all the criteria to get my insurance to pay for the lap-band. The only doctors that my cardiologist was familiar with are in Nashville and not covered by my insurance. I am getting very anxious and want a good surgeon that can do the surgery quickly. I am ready to start losing weight and feeling better. :eek:
