I have been struggling with weight most of my life. Although not obese, I always envy my friends who were very slim and could feet to pretty much any outfit. After I married, I got pregnant pretty much right away and started gaining weight. my weight went from 150 to 212 with first pregnancy and 2 years after with my second pregnancy my weight went all the way to 233. lost about 17 lb after child birth and i have been on a yo yo diet pretty much ever after. I have tried many diet including weight watchers, LA weight loss, Atkins, suger busters, nutritionist and ...... I am a good loser and have lost up to 45 lb at one point 5 yrs ago but I have gained every thing plus.
last year on my annual check up my doctor told me, I may want to try Lap band weight loss surgery. I have been studying my options very carefully, for the past few month I have met two good surgons and I finally came to the conclussion that I will benefit from Lap Band however all the complications that may come with it in addition to having a husband who is very scared and not supportive turned me to a emotion rolllercoaster. My Surgery date is in about 2 weeks.
I would love to hear your advise on what to do
