    Ok so i went to see my doc today and he was great. said that im a go for the surgery. now i have to go down the list and then wait for tricare! yeah for me i was so so happy! but then i started to tell my family about it and it seems the closer i get to having the lapband the more they want to say things like your never ever going to eat food again! do you really really want to do this and so on. so now im more scared than anything now. is the whole food thing true. i know in the beging its going to be like that but for the rest of my life. ive never heard this before so any any info will be great. how do i even deal with this. i really want the lapband but dont want my family flipen out ether. bla!!!!
