For the last 2 weeks I've been seriously contemplating having lap band surgery. Done some research online. I think I've found a surgeon. I go to the seminar next Weds night. I'm 35 years old and probably around 250 (haven't weighed in a few weeks) and I'm tired of the up and downs of a constant battle with my weight. I've battled my weight probably since I was in middle school. I believe I would be an excellent candidate to have the surgery. I want to change my life. Its scary thinking of the changes that I know I will have to make for the rest of my life. I've made changes before, however, not as drastic as what I'm soon to most likely be going through. I want to feel good again. I want to go back to my gym and right now I can't get myself there. When I eat right and excercise noone can stop me! I have great family support and they are all for this. I know I can do this, hell I've done it without surgery....well, I've never actually lost all the weight I've ever wanted to, but I got to the point where I felt DAMN good about myself! I wanted to join this group for any other support out there....any input would be greatly appreciated.  Wish me luck, I feel like I'm already committed to going through with all of this.  Please, feel free to chime in!!!
