After dieting for my "physician directed weight loss program", I lost around 70lbs. I have gained some back...going from my heaviest of 296 to my smallest 230 (this morning I weighed ~245).
Yesterday, to my surprise, I was notified that my surgery has been approved.
Because I lost so much weight on my own, I am suddenly conflicted not knowing if I should keep up the work I am doing or if I should move forward with the lap band.
This is a lifelong decision and I am terrified.
For those of you who have already had the surgery...
Was anyone else really scared going into this?
I am 24-y-o....are there other members my age who have done the surgery?
Anyone else around my same weight who has done it---Do you regret it?
If there was one thing that you wished you had known prior to surgery, what would it be?
Would love to hear your thoughts...
