It just occurred to me that if I ended up getting banded I have a toddler that needs picked up now and then... she isn't extremely big on being held but I will need to lift her into and out of the crib... in the evening at bedtime DH could do it but in the am and before and after naps I'd have to. She can crawl up into her own booster seat so that helps, and if she wants in my lap when I'm sitting in the living room she will climb up there... but there are still times like nap, oh and diaper changes, where I'd need to lift her...

I guess I am just worried of the complcations of having the surgery. It is a HUGE change. I know I need it to be healthy for myself and my children. I have had my physic eveluation and I've been to 2 nutrition visits.
