I HAVE BEEN OVER WEIGHT ALMOST MY HOLE LIFE. I'M 32 NOW AND WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN AND AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF TRYING AND NO SUCCESS. MY OB TOLD ME THAT I REALLY NEEDED TO LOOSE WEIGH BUT OF COURSE I KNEW THAT AND HAD BEEN TRYING FOR YEAR BUT HAVENT HAD ANY SUCCESS. I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE NORMAL LOSE 30-40LBS AND THEN GAIN IT ALL BACK, PLUS SOME. WELL THAT IS ME. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HAVE SURGERY FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW.
1ST IT WAS GASTRIC BUT MY HUSBAND DIDNT THINK IT WAS SAFE AND DIDNT WANT ME TO HAVE SO I RESEARCHED AND RESEARCHED. SO I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE GASTRIC THEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT IT AGAIN AND REALLY WANTED TO GET HEALTHLY BECAUSE BY THIS TIME THE DOCTORS HAS PUT ME ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE. SO I LOOKED AT THE LAP BAND AND THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR ME. WELL AFTER MESSING WITH A DOCTOR HERE IN F'BURG AND PISSING ME OFF I DECIDE TO GO LOOK FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR.
I GO TO ANOTHER SEMINAR AND THIS TIME THEY GIVE MORE INFO ON BOTH GASTIC AND LAP BAND. SO AFTER I GO BACK TO MY HUSBAND AND GIVE HIM ALL THIS INFO. WE BOTH AGREE THAT THE GASTRIC IS FOR ME. SO NOW I'M OFF TO COMPLETE SOME OTHER DOCTORS ORDERS. IT HAS TAKEN ME 11 MONTHS TO GET THE RIGHT DOCTOR AND APPROVE.
FINALLY I AM COMPLETE AND HAVE A SURGERY DATE!!!
