I am so ready for this. Then I went to a psychic yesterday and he said that I would hate it and want to have it removed. And, that I really didn't need it because if I could really see who I was and honor myself, I would eat healthier and the weight would fall off because I would eat food that honored me. I get what he was saying but...

After little sleep and much soul searching, I am still going get the lapband. That's why my log in is "18 months to know." Someone gave me some really good advice: She said, you have about a year and a half to figure out why you eat the way you do, if not, you may very well put the weight back on. So, I figure that I can truly find out who I am AND lose the weight at the same time. Maybe I will hate it and maybe I will have it removed, but I need to take this journey this way right now.

God promises us not to give us any more than we can handle. I believe lapband is God's way of saying, your weight loss IS more than you can handle, so here's some help.

Pray for me, I will pray for all of you. I trust I am in God's hands and His will be done.

Any thoughts?

Weeeellll...my first thought is if you are listening to God why go to a psychic?

(My personal belief is that if a psychic really knew what the future holds they would be playing the stockmarket, not nickle and diming it from the side of the road )

I agree that you should easily know within 18 months, probably less and the good thing is that if you DO end up hating it it CAN be removed.

curiosity got the better of me. Mother went, I went too.

Actually from the God perspective, he'll always take precedence over anyone or anything else.

thanks for your honest response.

best of luck and continued success.
