I have finally decided after a long time that I am getting LB, which I was very very against at the begining. I am 30 yrs old, and I have 4 kids. I had my first child at 18, and three weeks from his birth, I had to have my gall bladder removed, which they said would hinder weight loss greatly. I have a sister who had her GB removed after the birth of her daughter as well, and she has gained a lot, too. Its confusing to me, because I do not have diabetes, high BP, bad colesterol, sleep apnea, or any of the other co morbidities that you would think a person with a BMI of 54 has, but I dont. About half of my family dont approve of me getting this done, including my husband. They think its the lazy or easy way out, but my body seems to adapt fairly quickly to dietary changes, and I tried two different weight loss pills and they both gave me scary side effects (heart palpatations, stomach pain, no loss of appetite etc..). Both my parents were overweight and my mother was dead by 42. I do not want to die early, and I have been praying about this and feel its the right move. Anyone else going through anything similar?
