Just Starting

Hi All,

I just made the decision last week to start taking care of myself and I contacted a surgeon about the Lap Band. I am excited and scared for this as I have watched my weight increase by 75 pounds in the last 4 years. I have tried everything it seems. But I just can't stop eating and getting larger and larger. I have always struggled with my weight and my parents started me on diets when I was 12 years old. It has consumed more than half of my life. I am here now to get as much information as I can on this procedure. Wish me Luck!

    Oh my gosh I wish you the very best of Luck. Read all you can, go back and read older posts to get a better understanding of what to ask your doctor.

    Welcome
