I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I have been on so many "diets." I know I have lost myself over again maybe even twice. I am 5'10 and presently weigh 255. I have great support form my friends and family. My surgery date is Feb 20th. I am getting anxious with my surgery date only being a couple weeks away. I am hoping to become a much tinner, healtheier, sexy LOL. Woman. There are many things I want to do but know this weight is hoilding me down. I know I would be more social if I were not this overweight. My daughter is a senior this year and she will be going off to college in the fall. (She received a scholarship to North Carolina State, YEAH!) I realized that I had focused on her for the past 17yrs (being a single mom) and have never put myself 1st. THe lap band is the 1st step in making myself a priority. I will be home alone me and the dog when she leaves. I want to be more social, I want to get out and do more and having the Lap Band will help me with it. Also the back pain I have is horrible. THe heavier I get the more the pain increases. My Cholestrol is pretty high also thank goodnes I do not suffer from high blood pressure. I look forward to Feb20th and begining a new life. I look forward to the new cyber friends I will make on this site.
