I would be gearing up for another try at WLS..In 2004, I was almost through the whole process to have RNY..when My dad lost his job--and Insurance...I was beyond sad, depressed and just lost..But now looking back I am glad that I didnt go through with that type of WLS..It was not the right decision for me..

And Now I am soo beyond excited and looking forward to having Lap Band (hopefully at the end of this year)...I know that It is a TOOL and I have to work hard to get results...but I am ready to do it!!!

Well I am 25 years old, 315lbs, 5'5", Registered Nurse, In school for MSN...

At this point/size In my life I am fortunate to have no History/outstanding health concerns and I am hoping that the WLS will help me loose the weight and prevent future problems due to my weight...

Don't get me wrong...I also want to loose the weight for superficial reasons like shopping, swimsuit season, and social reasons...lol

I have alot of goals like many of the other profiles I have read...Including:

Shopping in the same stores with my friends, crossing my legs, Dare I say Bikini?!??, Being able to eat at a Buffet (w/o feeling like people are watching), not feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, not wanting/needing/thinking about food (all the time)..and I am sure many others..lol

Best wishes and you can say anything here on this site, we are all listening and may share too. You are blogging for all the RIGHT reasons. Best wishes on your WLS I had mine in June 29 and it has changed my life. My goal was to go skiing again and I have been six time already this winter. All your dreams can come true. All the best imaluckydog
