Saw your post on the concerns that you are having...... I am nine days out from having lap band surgery. I have not regretted a minute of it so far. I am 45 male with BMI in the low 50's. i have two kids 7 and 4 and I want deperately to watch them grow up, continue playing ball with them, etc. I have sleep apnea and high blood pressure but I realized that the health issues were going to start piling up if I didn't do something.
It is a lifestyle change but it was an easy choice for me. I could have kept eating whatever I wanted or I could have the surgery for them. It was a no brainer and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I don't care how much weight I lose, I just want to stay healthy so I can keep active and enjoy my kids.
With my family's suport, and by the grace of God, It was an easy choice.... and I hope that the continued support and with God's help I will be able to do everything that I have to do to make this surgery work.
With your family's support and with help from above you can do this! Trust in the Lord!
