  1. spirituality and the band

    Jadeite posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    Hey there all you spring chickens:) I am 28 and set to be banded on the 15 of Jan. I have struggled with my weight as long as i can remember..but Here is my issue. I consider myself to ba a spiritual person. I believe in karma, massage and herbs and breathing and have been healthy and active for most of my life. I am scared to put this band in my body. Part of me feels like this surgery is invasive and an afront to my body, but then i also know the extra weight is hurting me too. I am afraid i am copping out... But then i look at the reality of my situation and know that it is not getting any easier to lose the weight.. Just working through the mental part of this process. Western medicine vs Eastern Medicine?? Does anyone have or had similar thoughts?? Thanks Jadeite
