And so it begins

Well, I don't know what happened, but last week I decided it is time. I called on Thursday, got in to the clinic for the initial consult on Friday and went for the blood work today. Then I got scared. Major stuff here. Could I do it on my own??? Obviously not. I am 54 and the heaviest I have ever been (229 at 5;5"). A big size 18. Wow. I used to think I was fat when I weighed 135. Wow again. My friend Sandra had gastric last year and looks terrific. But, that is gastric. Will lap band do the same? Is this gonna work?

Best of luck

I wish all of you banders the best of luck. I have decided to opt out for now. Too much out of pocket expense. I will let you know if things change... Bye for now.

BTW, I welcome any and all comments. I will probably be needing all the input I can get I just found out that my part of the payment for the procedure will be $1,750. That sounds like an awful lot to me. I have a lot to think about now...I could spend that money on so many other things that would "help" me lose weight.... Wow....
