Hello Everyone :0)

I Read Up On Lapband And Have Now Decided It Maybe For Me. Looks Like It's 99.9% Risk Free...i Go To My Seminar On April 19th...i Was Been Supposed To Attend But They Kept Canceling It. I Was Expecting To Be Banded By The Summer...hopefully I Will. I Know I Wont Reach My Goal Weight This Summer But Next Summer Hopefully I Can Be Rockin. I Am Concered About Scars...i Have Light Stretch Marks Already But I Dont Want A Major Scar Like Gastric Bypass.

Pray For Me Everyone....lets Hope This Is The Answer To My Prayers Of 20yrs...i'm Tired Of Being The Laughing Stalk Or Outcast When I Go Places. I Want To Be Happy And Look Normal. Of Course Like Many Of You Here I Tried All The Prgrams..atkins Was My Most Successful To Date But Im Tired Of The Slowwww Progression And Eating The Samethings. There Is One Person Who Thinks I Should Stay 454 Pounds...got To Be Kidding Right? This Person Tries To Tell Me I Can Be Big And Healthy....enough Is Enough.

Wish Me Luck!

Good luck. It's been the best for me but I am rather new. Maybe you should chat with some of the folks that have experienced this from the

higher BMI's. Just ask, they'll answer!
