If you are reading this, I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in this. I was banded on 2/23/2010 and I was very fortunate to have found a wonderful support system via writing and reading different Lap band blogs on Blogger.com, which is where I currently blog.

I invite anyone of you who needs someone to talk with, words of encouragement or a pep talk to feel free to contact me. You can reach me via email on this site or through my blog...

I know if I hadn't had the support of the wonderful women I met, I don't think I'd have been quite as successful as there were times I wanted to give up, give in, use my scale for target practice and stuff my face with Cookies until I puked. Nowdays, i still want to use my scale for target practice, but only occasionally! If you need a buddy, feel free to drop me a line!!!

Thank you.

I'm thinking about doing the lap ban but I'm scared of any issues that may arise during the journey.

Getting the Lap Band is a personal decision and it doesn't work for everyone, but with that being said, for me ti was the best decidion I ever made. You have to be willing to WORK for your losses and not just expect the weight to fall off without any effort. I work with a personal trainer and have totally revamped my way of eating, so you just need to weight your wants, your needs and your goals to determine if this is right for you!!

Good Luck!!!

Stephanie
