dalla, I know what mean.. I was put down once too very bad. I was told the lapband wouldnt work for me because i was to big and that I should get the bypass. I was so hurt and got confused. But as of now I have NO doubt the lapband is for me. Here is the thread where i came here for support after i was put down. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=4873

TrishS replied to Ericalynn13's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Erica, Hello... I am 5' 2" and 340lbs, I have a BMI of 64.2 thats not far from 70. I looked high and low and through every WLS option that I could have. Once I learned about the band I knew I just knew it was for me. It fit my lifestyle. Im getting Banded in 10days.. A month or two ago, I was put down very badly for wanted to get the band I was told I was to big to get the band, that it wont work me... (by another board/chat) You know ever since that I have met people with BMI of 80+ and are losing weight left and right... If you really really want the Band over any other WLS then I would see another Doctor.. That is just my opinion. There is a message board on Yahoo Groups Called Extraordinary Bandsters These are for people with BMI's over 50 and its a wonderful group.. They showed me I CAN do this no matter what my BMI is. Check it out I think you will like it... Good Luck with everything and Let us know how things work out for you okay.. Take care -
Judy- Oh how I want to try Water aerobics, I want to look for a gym that offers that in my area. I going to be banded in 10days.. and just wanted to start with something simple for now.. I cant do to much jumping around or much... Im very heavy for my frame size and Im afraid I will break something. Thank You for the idea of water aerobics... I hope I dont scare anyone wearing a swimsuit LOL Alex- I never knew that a simple squat would help inner thighs.. I tried a couple just now to see how it would feel.. belive it or not it made me take a deep breath... as though I was about to get tiered lol .. Yes Im that out of shape... I would have to take this very slow, being my knees whould take a beating with the weight it has to hold.. I heard a few pops in my knees as I went down... ouch i hope i didnt hurt anything. Maybe I will start off slow as just 5 in the morning and 5 at night.. Hey its a start and thats what I need I start.. I dont think my 1 situp a day counts.. Sit up out of bed.. Lay down in bed=1 situp LOL but I really what that sagging of my inner thighs gone.. or at lest smaller, again, I dont want that problem to worsen after I do start losing weight!
-
LOL i have so much hair I would love to share with you!! I hate my hair sometimes, but once I was told I might lose some of it.. I freaked out LOL go figure... hehehe
-
Oh WOW Size 10... I forgot they made that size LOL GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!
-
Hey if any of you need extra BMI's I have some extra to share... Take any of my 62 LOL
-
3 days?? woohoo You are going to do great!
-
OMG thats to funny Jenna... I would booty dance with you, but im afraid I will take down some people with my big ole butt LOL Well I feel GREAT today... I had my pre-op and feel loads better. Dr. Smith and Cameron were just to to kind to me. Cameron sat there and answered every crazy question I had to detail. and Dr. Smith smiling the whole time let me know that he has not heard of much pain from any of his paitents and that I am going to do wonderful. So I am getting excited... and Thursday I start my liquid diet.. ugh! lol
