Lol "a knifing accident" thats hillarious... ummm well if you really don't want to explain to someone what your scars are just yet you could tell them that you had your galbladder removed.. We do (I work in surgery) Laproscopic gallbladder removals all the time and the trocar placement (scaring) is very similar to the lap band except... the lap band there is one extra scar(port)... Just a thought....

For the first 20 some odd years my life I was afraid to speak up, I walked around with my head down and was basically ignored by the opposite sex. I'm not sure when I decided to change but it's been only in the last couple of year's Ive been walking around with my head held a little higher, not so afraid to look em in the eye and say I'm fat accept it or move on. Ive had meaningless relationships several time's to try to feel some sort of void, and try to validate myself in proving the point "yes men can find larger women attractive". Nothing worked, I still wasn't happy. Nowdays I'm very upfront with the men I date, I don't mind telling them exactly how much I weigh, and not to let the door hit them on the way out if they cant handle it, that's their issue. I can't help but thinking when I'm at goal weight, if I'll always question if my partner would of liked the heavier me, but thats something I'm going to have to deal with. Wether I'm a hundred pounds overweight or at goal weight I'm still going to have some sort of nagging issues, what really matters is finding happiness in myself now rather than thinking everything will magically be cured once I loose the weight.

If I had to choose between the list I'd choose Dr Adam Smith or Dr David Kim, Ive heard highly of both. Dr Smith will be doing my surgery.

If your in fort worth Dr. Adam Smith comes very highly recommended, plus he also has the lapband himself so he knows what were going through. If everything goes as planned I should have a surgery date scheduled within the next month Good Luck !!! Jennifer
