My Story

Hi, I am 57yrs old, been fighting my weight since high school, feel it is time to do something positive for myself, and have been researching the Lap Band procedure.  I had my first visit with one of the surgeons in Mobile, but left feeling somewhat discouraged.  He feels I am not ready for this type surgery...my question is what does one need to do to prepare for it?  I understand my eating habits will change drastically, and maybe he feels because i am an emotional eater, may not beable to tolerate the restrictions.  How will I know if I don't try?  I have talked with the nurse, have more paper work and appts to schedule, such as a psych consult and a nutristionist consult.  I am hoping this will meet the criteria for the surgery.  My mom and best friend are not so encouraging, matter of fact will throw negative digs at me when I talk to them about it, trying to set me up for failure before even getting the prerequisits done.  The man in my life though is very supportive, will help me in any way, just wish the other folks would support me.
My interest in life are my job, pets, art, music, gardening, traveling, my motto is "LIfe is an Adventure"  never know what is around the next corner unless you turn to find out.  I am outgoing, love to laugh, sing, cherish my friends, and some what insecure about myself.  Not ashamed to admit it. I will need a lot of positive support, which I have not had a great deal from the people I feel should support me, hope to make some new friends with this support group on OH...I think this is a great site, even had the opportunity to read one of the magazines in the surgeon's office.  I hope to hear from other folks who are in the same boat as me.
