Lap band that is.....

Ok so I know I am stubborn enough to go it alone since the family and friends I have now are against this idea including my dr. Since she referred me into this bariActric clinic. I am sure I will have a melt down and it's good to know you have a friend who understands what you are going through. I am 44 242.6lb from 273.6lb now 5'4" and looking for a mentor/friend

Start counting your calories with a food journal and you need to keep moving!

As long as you can prove you have tried to lose weight on your own atleast five different ways with outcomes and have carried 100lb over for five years or more you should be good to go. I am coming up a year since I joined a bariactric group and comming up in two months for my lap band surgery. I am 44 5'4" 273.6 start point and now 242.6 3/18/11

I have lost 30 lbs now and in two months looking at getting banded but also having second thoughts. I can ignore the comments of friend and family who disagree with my descions but when my own dr. Suggests I can do this on my own since I am doing it now and really don't need the band. Hmmmmm! I have been over weight most my life and have many more years on my working ticket; 44 here soon and now at 242.6lb from 273.6lb 5'4". If I lose my job as we all know how the economy is then what do I do as far as paying dr visits for fills or complications? Should I just go through with the gastric bypass?
