Hi, My name is Lacey. I have been considering surgery since 04. I lost 45 pounds on my own then gained 70 since. I had a baby in 07, Anna, and another little girl in December of 08. I lost the pregnancy weight with my first but not with my second. I gained 20 pounds that won't come off! I registered with my lil sis in Chicago in March for a marathon. I was ready to really attempt to kick butt. I worked out maybe twice. I woke up one day and my knees hurt sooo bad. I went to the doctor and got a run around. I know that I am really overweight but the pain was sudden and hurt I wasn't making it up because I didn't want to lose weight. I felt like no one believed me.... I was in so much pain. I finally got x-rays and have fluid in my R knee. I have an appt with an orth doc to see what is going on there. Since this happened to me I see no other choice is better than to be banded. I have no help with my girls, I love them but being in constant pain and having to bend to pick them up and change diapers. My GOODNESS it sucks. I also have a husband that says I complain about everything. HEllo I am in pain and it hurts. I am not being a baby. So I have my seminar coming up and hope everything goes according to the plan. I want this more than anything. I start school in Sept. I cant barely fit in the seats! Sucks. OH, anyone have a husband that doesn't think dinner is dinner without bread or totillas? Or that cereal is not a brkfst??? It is like a resturant here!! Thanks for letting me vent here!
