Hi. Working on my "required" 6 months of weight managment with my regular MD. Had my sleep apnea testing, my heart tested (was put on baby aspirin for chest pain) have tried to lose weight (yeah right a whopping 5 pounds in 4 months):eek: and had my appointment with the nutritionist (she tried to scared the crap out of me so I wouldn't go through with it). I have two more visits then my insurance "should" cover the lap band. I'm planning to have it done in July. I'm SCARED. :nervous I'm hoping this site will dissolve my fears and give me the confidence to get my life back. Up until age 31 I was a normal weight. (125 to 138) The thyroid then threw me a curve ball. I'm still not convinced a lap band will help with a thyroid problem. Any of you out there have success? I'm currently at 255 and want to get back down to 140. I have a cute little sun dress in a size 12 as my goal.:eek: Will be having surgery in Victoria, Texas.
