New to LapBand

Hello All, I am 2 weeks from my 21st birthday and i have made the decision to have the lap band surgery. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 but have had weight issues since i was in Elementary school. I currently weigh 255 and im 5'9. Its So hard and i have no one to relate to esp. because I live in Socal and everyone here is skinny in my opinion too skinny.

I am Very excited to be having the surgery. I am also scared cause all i have ever known is this.. They are telling me i should have the surgery by aug of 2009. I cant wait. I am actually very good at eating well its just so hard cause people with PCOS have to work 3 times as hard to drop the same amount of weight. I am totally Vegan.. I am normally completely natural but when you have tried it ALL this is just what has to be done.

I really would like to talk to some ppl who are on the same journey or have already had the surgery.. the more friends and support the better!

Good luck to everyone out there and smile.. cause no matter what you are beautiful!!
