Hello all!!

I'm still trying to decide if surgery is right for me. I just had my first child in feb 2007, during my pregnancy i had major blood pressure and swelling issues. Therefore i was put on bed rest the last 2 months and KABOOM!!! there went an additional 40 pounds to my already overly plump figure. I've been working on my excercise and weight loss for the past year and have only lost about 30 pounds. I am currently plateaued (sp?) at 270. I still need to lose 100-130 pounds.

I'm here to check out what others think who have undergone the surgery. Specifically those in my area around Tulsa, OK.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Wynd and welcome to LBT! I went through the same thing as you with my first pregnancy, I was absolutely bored out of my mind. That was when they first came out with Nintendo, and I became a real pro at many of the games.

Anyways, we are glad you have decided to join us here. Check out the frequently asked questions forum at Frequently Asked Questions (NEW!) - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support .

Hi Wynd and welcome to LBT! Having surgery is a big decision and you are right to do some research before jumping in. Are there any support groups held in your area? That would be a good place to start. Usually a bariatric surgeon's office can answer that question. Also, check out this thread: Oklahoma Local Lap-Band Support - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support . That's the Oklahoma thread. Good luck to you and let us know what you decide!

Haha Susan. It looks like great minds think alike!
