Excited.  Tomorrow have my consultation with my surgeon.  Hoping to receive the okay to get the procedure.

New here.  I'm a 37 year old nurse from Michigan, no kiddies (yet), and have a loving supportive and wonderful boyfriend.  After struggling with my weight since i was young and never having reached a low or healthy weight range with diet and exercise alone, i've now decided to look into weight loss surgery.  For me, the battle to lose weight has been unending!  I'd really like to know, even for a moment, what it feels like to not have to think about my weight every single day of my life.  Or, dealing with some issues related to obesity.  To be comfortable just being me and living life.  Recently I discovered I reached my heaviest weight of 264 lbs!  

Within recent years i've known my blood sugars, blood pressure and thyroid function have been a bit off but i've never been officially diagnosed with anything and was just being monitored.  Because of my family history I realize i'm a ticking time bomb if i don't change something soon!  Just about everybody in my family has Type 2 diabetes (totally avoidable) and complications from it.  So i'm ready to take back my life, and most importantly, my health.   I have over 100+ lbs to lose.  

I've done an extensive amount of research and have come to the conclusion the lap band is probably my best place to start.  Setting up my surgery consultation today.  Will be a self-pay patient so hopefully the process will move quicker!
