Confusion????

Kat, you know having the lapband surgery is personal. I would not tell anyone that you don't want to. People who do not have a weight problem (and never will) tend to say stupid things like "Why don't you just stop eating?" If that were so easy, we would have this surgery. Only 5% of the population is successful and losing and KEEPING it off. Its just not that easy as you well know. Tell them you are on a special diet if they ask, it's none of their business anyway.

My answer: A well-balanced diet, strictly adhering to Portion Control.< /p>

I only told a few people before I had it - my immediate family, my boss, 2 best friends. My husband was (and is) so supportive it's ridiculous! Once I really started losing weight (80 pounds as of this morning), and people started noticing, I was honest when asked. A few of my friends are now looking into having the band done as a result of my success. It's not that I'm so wonderful at it, it's just that they see the results and realize that they can do it too! I am not sorry that I tell anyone I had surgery - if they think less of me for having done it, too bad for them.

You know they have particular birth control pills that allow you to have your period only once every few months, right? Once you're at a healthy weight and no longer at risk for blood clots...assuming your religion permits, ask your doctor about Seasonale. Issue solved.

We have been trying to have a baby for 4 years. The Dr. said I was just to fat to get pregnant. stupid Dr. lol I also have PCOS. So, as an added bonus for getting healthy, I might get pregnant too. That would be so great.
