Hi my name is Meg and I am 21 years of age and am going in for my appointment to talk to my doctor (at Kaiser) about the LapBand procedure! I am quite nervous about how to even approach the issue, because even though they are a doctor, I am pretty shy about sharing my weight issues as well as my PCOS issues with my doctor!
I have tried dieting, diet pills (Hydroxycut, Alli, Hoodia, prescribed medications by previous doctors) exercise, not eating LOL! everything!
So with all that said, I was hoping someone could give me some friendly tips on how to approach it in a positive way, and not to sound like I am looking for a quick fix or solution.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and hope you all are doing wonderfully pre and post operation!
God Bless,
Meg:redface:
