wow lets see if i make it this time i keep chickening out this is my third attempt to get lap band. i feel like i'm gonna die if i don't do this. i am a recovering drung addict and since i've been sober i've gained 140 pounds in 5 years my feet and lungs cannot handle the massive weight gain i cant breath and walking through the mall kills me i think i'm gonna over dose in food and die if i don't do this but dam it i'm scared as heck

I was scared too but it was the best thing I ever did. I just had Surgery on July 13th. So I am 2 weeks out.

so your ok ? two of my friends have had it done one lost 75 but gained 45 back ,the other is great. i need to lose 100 pounds i don't feel like i look bad or really fat but dam i'm tired and my body hurts all the time

I am hoping to lose 100 lbs also. I have had no trouble at all so far. I really like my Surgeon Dr. Spivak in Houston. Make sure you find a Doctor you like it makes all the difference I think. Since I suffer from bad anxiety I went to seminar on Saturday and had surgery on Monday morning. I was self pay so it worked out that way. I did not want a lot of time to think about it since I already made up my mind and did a lot of research beforehand. It kinda shocked my husband when I schedule for that soon but he was up for it.
