Hi everyone. I'm new here and am very excited about this whole process. I am scheduled for a seminar on sept. 25. I have read so much information that my head is starting to spin. I have been considering the lapband for about two years now. Acutally my neurologist recommended it to me. I have a chronic condition, idiopathic intercranial hypertension..that's a mouthful to say. Basically it means that my spinal fluid pressures get abnormally high and cause severe headaches, vision problems, nausea and a host of other lovely issues. It's linked to being overweight, so me having a BMI of 42.5 is a major factor. I have been dealing with prediabetes as of this year.
This is something I really need to pursue for my health, I'm scared..but I see it as a journey that will lead to a healthier, stronger, overall better ME! :smile:
I look forward to sharing with everyone!
