Hello...I'm new to Obesity Help but not new to the weight loss game. I've struggled with my weight since the age of 20 and I'm 37 now. At the age of 20 the weight just started coming and never seem to stop. I also learned at that time that I had PCOS and according to the doctor 17 years ago it was "No, big deal". Well, I know that's so far from the truth.
Fast Foward 17 years and I'm 125 lbs heavier with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. In the past 5 years I've been on Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, and the past 4 I've been seeing a nutritionist. I always lose weight but never keep it off, the more I lose the more I gain back.
So, that brings me to now. I started seeing the commercials on tv for the LapBand. After about 3 months of constantly seeing this commercial, I finally went to the website to check it out. Then I decided to go to a seminar after that it was an easy decision. I had my first consultation in December and my mom went it along to find out more about the procedure.
I received a call on Wednesday that all paperwork is in order and I could schedule my pre-op appointment. So, my pre-op is 1 Feb 07 and my surgery date is 5 Feb 07. I'm nervous and excited!
