In the beginning...
Where do I even start?
About a year ago, a friend of mine mentioned something about the lap band procedure. Until then, I had never heard of it. I thought the only WLS option was gastric bypass. Watching my mom post GB, I knew that wasn't something I was willing to explore. However, the lap band sounded like a great idea. After doing some research online, I began the process.
Here I am at 218 pounds, only 5'2" with a BMI of 38, high cholesterol and sleep apnea...and only 31 years of age. Most days, I feel like I'm trapped in an old woman's body. I have no energy at all and could sleep for 12+ hours.
My surgery is scheduled for 09-09-09 (12 twelves away)!!! While excited, I'm also nervous.
I think my biggest concern right now is being alone through the process. I'm single and I know it is going to be tough trying to take care of my two kids by myself immediately following surgery. I'm determined though and I can't wait to come out on the other side of this whole ordeal. I can't believe how many appointments I've gone through just to get here.
So, that's a very short, brief version of "my story." Will write more later. :blushing:
