Hello All,
I'm going to a seminar in hopes of having the lap band. My fear is 1) I won't qualify 2) If I do get it done it wont work 3) Something will go wrong. I dunno I guess there are a number of fears but my fear right now is that they will tell me no.
I have 4 children gave birth to 3 of them. I had no problem losing the weight after my first (however I've always been fluffy).
I lost 55 pounds with my first by dieting, gym and eating right no prob!!! Then my second came, and I became a yo yo.
Up and down up and down, never able to keep it off for very long. So I decided that we should try for our girl before I lose all this weight and become a real hottie LOL. Well my two lil ones are only 20 months apart and my body did not like that at all. I have NOT been able to lose the weight since and she is 3 :0( I've went down to 190 had a tummy tuck because that is all I thought I would achieve. I then lost another 15 pounds after that because well it is major surgery and takes some time to recover. I'm now on my way back up I'm 216 right now but I go up to 220 sometimes. I hate that darn scale!!!! I don't eat a lot and I'm sure that is what a lot of people say that are overweight, but I really don't.
Back to the approval of the procedure, I know my weight is a go..... my BMI is 37 so I believe that is high enough, but I don't have any other health issues YET. My knees are starting to hurt when I walk upstairs and I'm only 34. They shake!!!! What is that about? That is when I decided that I had to do something. I've tried every diet, Weight-watchers, pills, more pills, exercise more exercise. After my daughter was born I was blessed to be able to stay home. I went to the gym everyday for 2 hours and lost 2 pounds in 3-4 months!! and I was walking around the park in the morning...ugh...
Any information you want to share with me is much appreciated. I'm looking for support from others who have had it or are going to have it. I'm green to this journey and welcome all....
