I have ben dieting and exercising most of my life. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep the weight off. I always end up gainning more then the weight I was before the last diet. It scared me when I reaized that I weighed 210#, which was higher then my pregnancy weight- but I was not pregnant this time. I was able o get down to 150#, but regained the weight plus more. Now I am
280#! Iwork with two girls who have had great sucess with their gastric bypass surgeries.I decided that the weight loss surgery was for me. Initially, I had planned on the gastric bypas.but changed my mind to the lap band surgery. I had been on weight watchers for 6 months for my insuance company. I ended up fracturing my left thigh at the end of the 6 month of weight watchers
and had surgery on my thigh. I was non weight bearing for 2 months to my left leg. I gainned all the weight I had lost plus more...
I am off work now going through physcal therapy and hope to have my lap band surgery soon. I do not have a date yet, but they are telling me that it will probably be in February.
Yeah! I just got my surgery date. I will have a lap band surgery on Feb. 4th 2008. Everybody say a prayer for me and wish me luck.
