I don't know anyone that had had any sort of bariatric surgery before. My doctors and the surgeon I met with along with me decided this was the only choice for me as I am pretty close to diabetes and my efforts over the last 15 years to reach my goal weight weren't successful..

I am feeling excited/scared and anxious to see if this will actually work. I am unsure about many things and in my post surgery recovery period right now am experiencing pains that I wasn't told about.. Need reassurance?? Discussion?? I hope I get to chat with some people that can help put me at ease and we can share stories and weight loss achievements!!

Good luck everyone! I was banded 5 years ago but had some minor complications. But I am on the right track now! Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com
