Hi

Im from Canada, I have been lurking around the boards trying to make a decision to get a lap band.

I have been on numorous diets lost 60lbs gained etc. I am so tired of YOYOing.

I am currently at a 42% BMI. When I think of surgery I think its such a drastic measure then I look at my health currently and think that is quite drastic too......stilll deciding.......

hi i am from canada as well i was 320 when i finnaly made the decision to have the surgery, i wouldent trade my decision in a second!!!

I Think its the fear of the unknown what if I fail at this too....

Im in Alberta too,

This is what I've been doing, what is the difference now?and when you dieted before? Do you have all your weight you want to loose?

Im looking at an appointment for August or september I wish I could make my mind up and do it the next day

i heard something one day, someone asked if i loved my family and i said yes, they asked me if i would die for my family and i said yes, they they said would you live for them, and it really struck a cord with me, that i had a choice if i really wanted to live and have a life i needed to make a change. i have lost 101 pound and still need to lose 60ish.

I love my band and wouldnt have it any other way. The road is not an easy one and rather slow but like its said,"anything worth having is worth fighting for!" Please know that theres forums are fi;lled with tons of people in the same boat as you and instead of being affraid ask questions! One is affraid of the unknown and uncertain fill yourself with knowledge, research and people who have been threw it instead of thinking fears. Good Luck!!
