Hello!  I am very new to this website.  I am currently considering having the lapband procedure done.  I have already gone for my Psych. eval, and I am scheduled for the Surgeon, and dietician on the 22nd of this month.  I am hoping that the process goes pretty quickly.

Well, anyway, here is my story!

I am 31 years old, have been married for 10 years, with no children.  While in highschool, I was very active in dance & drill team, so I was never overweight, but as I graduated from High School, and went to college, is when I started gaining my weight.  I have tried all different kinds of diets, which work for a while, but then I stopped and gained all my weight back plus even more!  My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2-3 years, but I feel that alot of this has to do with my weight.  I currently weigh 251 pounds, and I am tired of having no energy, SOB, terrible acid reflux, muscle aches, and just tired of having to shop in the Big girl section, I am so ready to be able to wear normal size clothes.  It is so depressing to go to family parties, because I am the largest one on both sides of our families.  So, it took my husband a while to get him to accept, that I am 100% sure that I want to have this surgery done!
