Hi All!

We are all here for the same reasons therefore we should back each other up right? I am in need of some guidance, advice, anything. I am 23, BMI of 50 and am ready to gain control of my life via the Lap Band. I have done a lot of research and have a lot of support from my medical team and family except my Husband. He was where I am at now but has lost about 80 lbs since our wedding 2 years ago. He believes in me and thinks that since he lost the weight I can too via his methods.

As much as I have tried, he does not know the struggles I personally have been through. My Psychologist and other medical professionals in my life all support me and believe this is my last option to lose weight and reduce more health problems from occuring.

My question to all of you is, even if my Husband is not behind me should I go through with it? The insecure part of me wants to back down but in this one decision in my life I have to do this for myself regardless.

I am hoping I can also find a good date that willl allow me to miss the liest amount of work days as possible.

Thank you for listening to my wramblings, I hope I've made some sort of sense.

Please feel free to write.

HELLO ALL! I HAVE AN UPDATE! I HAVE BEEN APPROVED!! The best part of the approval is I talked to my Husband again and tonight he said he doesn't like it but since this is something I really want to do he will support me through it! I almost wanted to cry! Thanks to everyone for your support it really gave me the strength to pursue what I truly want for myself!

I am always available to talk if anyone needs ME!

<3 Steph
