I am a new member. Have been researching lap band surgery and I am still just as confused as before.
I probably have the same questions and worries that everyone else has (had).
I am 58 years old (I still can't remember when old age was able to sneak up on me). Its always been hard for me to loose weight and I'm afraid this may be something else that didn't work.
I have pain everywhere all the time; fibromyalgia, constant severe lower back pain, my knees are gone and now my feet are going. I feel "bad" all the time. No specific diagnosis, but bunches of little ones. Chronic renal insufficiency and the back pain are probably the biggest reasons.
I have a morbid fear of anesthesia, although I've had surgeries before and no problems, it never gets any easier.
Have I waited too long? Is it too late to change any of these problems?
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
Anyone that has has similar problems, please, any words of encouragement would be appreciated.
