Wow that is awesome....The more I read and the more I the more I chat with people it might be the tool I need to get the weight off...ive tried LA Weight Loss and Weight Watchers but it doesnt last long or its not the best plan. Thanks for your response

Thank you for responses. The more I think about it I am really hoping that we can get things worked out to get this done. I have to go back and see the orthopedic surgeon on the 31st of this month I am NOT looking forward to it at all....:tongue:, but then again I might end up with another doctor to support the idea of having the procedure done. So for now I wont know much more until I meet with the doctor who suggested it in January!

I have come to the cross roads where I NEED to do something to lose the weight and one of my doctors has mentioned lap band. I am pretty sure this is something I want to do and I have already made alot of the appointments that she told me to. I've made the appointment to meet with my regular general doctor and I have made the appointment to see the counselor about the whole mental health thing. Right now its all an information gathering and getting all my doctors on board with the idea. At this point I don't think it will be an issue to get them to agree on it. I have never been a thin person I have always had a weight problem but it has gotten worse as I have gotten older and compounded even more with an accident that left me needing surgery on my knee 6 months after it happened. The orthopedic surgeon has been very vocal about me needing bariatric surgery. I am scared!! Does anyone have any suggestions or stories that will help!
