Short ride in a fast machine

Mar 12, 2009

So I decided to get lap-band. Well I guess that seems obvious since I'm on here. I think I'm going to try my best to blog a lot about my experience since I think I'm sort of rare to this surgery being 18 and a guy. There isn't much information about how being a teenager and being in college affects the experience so I guess I'll just wait and see. 

 I've been big since I can remember. My mom used to say I had baby-fat. Wasn't really fat as a baby. I have tried it all like everyone else and I feel that this is it. I'd really like to avoid surgery if possible but I don't see any other option at this point. I'd really like to live out my remaining years as a kid before it's all over. I'm nervous for the surgery and for my life after. Admitedly, there's a lot of things that happen in college that no one will really address and I'm afraid to ask the doctors fearing them cancelling my surgery. So, like I said, I'll just have to test my limits and adapt to life after surgery post-op. 

I'm getting my surgery done in NH because it's the only place where I live and it's supposed to be really good. I have all my stuff in and have a consult date with the surgeon. Hopefully I'll be getting surgery in May. I really dig the way people come together and help each other out for this type of thing. This whole website is really chill and I hope that I can aid/get support from all you guys!
