Hello everyone, my name is Diana and i am in the process now of getting the lap band. I am looking to meet great people on here with whom i can talk to and share stories with. I am hoping to meet people who have already been through this process so that i can ask questions. I live in the Nashua area and will be having the surgery in Manchester. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care

well i am on my road to the lap band surgery, i just finished with my psych visit, he said i am a great candidate for the surgery so i am excited. I have to meet with the nutritionist next month. I also have to start the lifestyle change course which is 6 weeks long, then i meet the surgeon. I was told to stay where i am weight wise and not to lose right now due to insurance reasons. I also need to go for a sleep study. Not too much to write about now, i just wanted to start keeping track of my progress. Feel free to write to me if you are starting this journey also and need someone to go through it with, it would be great to share stories. Well thats it for now, will update later. bye...

My Story

my story hmmm... well just like a lot of you i am sure, i grew up the big kid in my family. My sister is tiny, my dad is skinny so i was picked on alot. I was told by my dad i would never find a man because i was too fat. Well dad i did find a great man whom i married and I have two beautiful children with. My heaviest weight was 254lbs and i was like whoa how the hell did i get so big? I have had alot of medical problems, i have pcos, i had a hysterectomy i have hypothyroidism and the list goes on lol. I just woke up one morning and said what the hell am i doing? i need to do something fast. I tried weight watchers, great i lost 18lbs i excercised, ate healthy but i just stopped there didnt lose anything else. I got frustrated. Then a friend of mine says oh hey lets try that new carb diet. oh great i said no bread but hey i was desperate i lost 10 lbs then nothing else. Of course once you lose you gain double back right lol. so i talked to my doctor and she recommended the lap band. i had two friends that have had it done and they look wonderful. I am just looking to get healthy again so i can keep up with my kids and not get tired all the time. Its hard to share a story on here but if anyone wants to talk please contact me so we can talk. I am a great listener and i will be very supportive.
