down in the dumps

Stop feeling bad about your weight, or lack of it compared to others. You have your own reasons for getting the lapband as does everyone. I have BMI 35, I can;t wait to get mine in and start my new life. Granted i'm doing it privately. I've been over weight all my life and its getting worse each year. The constant yo,yo dieting is my normal everyday life, with 4 size clothes in my waredrobe. I am hopefully having mine the end of June and already I am having nightmares!!!! But I have to do something about my size before it escalates futher. If you feel it will work for you then go for it. Don't feel guilty, its not an easy option. Good luck

good luck xx

Thanks for the reply. My kids are sorted for the weekend of and if all goes according to plan surgery will be done on the Sat, my husband will be home Sunday afternoon, he can get kids and mind them. I'l ring in sick for a few days. Oh i hope all goes well and i can sign on the dotted line at consultation this Sunday. I just want to get this doen as soon as, it;s been a long time comming!! Thanks again

Thanks very much girls for all your replies. I think il go ahead with it if all goes well on Sunday. I want to try get it done before the summer, i have a weekend away planned for mid-august with family and i would love to go, so at least if i get done late June, i should be able to. As i said i can't prebook the time off but if i need to ring in sick i will. You very good for getting back to me so quick. I am so looking forward to changing my life for the better xx shelly

hi lads, just new here. Been very down lately with my weight, and after years of yoyo dieting i'm seriously considering a lap band. I'm based in Dublin and would prefer to stay over here to have surgery, mostly because i don't think i could get anyone to go with me abroad. So can you please tell me the places that do it in Ireland and prices? Their doesn;t seem to be many??? Also the one in Belgium, looks very promising, any feed back incase i can get a friend to go. PRices, hotels etc. Any comments would be great, just can't do this for much longer, had a serious melt down the other day and am feeling very low about my self. Thanks
