Don't you just hate when people tell you, “You really don't need the lap band. You look like you can work it off". Well if you don't I do! I had a woman at my church tell me this and she has had the Gastric Bypass. My first impression of her statement was, well don't that just beat all. She has lost a lot of weight and is looking real nice; why wouldn't she want the same for me... Not that I care about her opinion it's just as I am traveling down this journey I am look for encouraging words only. Maybe her words were meant to be encouraging however, she has had GASTIC. LMBO! A co-worker who has had the lap band tells me daily how much it’s not worth eat while she snacks at her desk daily. I am excited and I am working hard in the gym, I have my eyes set on the prize and I am not letting no one and that means no one get in my way of a new me! UGH! I feel better now. LOL

Good Lucck.. and I keep you in my prayers.

Hello all, I am so excited about the journey of the lap band however; I have mixed feelings about telling my family and friends that I have decided to take this route. I said this because this summer June 2010; I had a breast reduction and everyone thought I was being so vain. I loved my breast deductions but, it made me see how much I really need to lose weight. Thanks to my reductions, I now look 7 months pregnant. LOL I have so many questions! This website seems to be very helpful.

Hello, I just started the process and I don't plan on telling my family or my co-worker either. I don't want to hear all the comments..
