Well, I am new to this site and I have recently attended the seminar on the lap band procedure. I am scared to death to be honest :car:. I am 32 years old and have struggled with my weight for many years now. I guess you could say I've hit rock bottom :faint:. I find it hard to play with my kids, I'm embarrased to go out to see old friends, I'm just tierd of the struggle. I decided that I wanted to make a life long change. Any advice I could get would be great. I have a consult scheduled for Aug. 28th. I pray this is the help and the answer I've been looking for. I'm willing and ready to do the work it takes and to make the changes I need to make. I just can't do it alone. I've tried and failed so many times now. I need :help:!
