Hi,
I am also Scheduled for February 7th I have had a lot of mixed reactions.
I hope you go for it. Your family will accept your decisions this is about you and your health and happiness. I know so many people who have had the lap band who are doing so great.
I am scared but I am also so hopeful.
It's ultimately up to you and you definitely need a support network at home..
How much do you need to lose?
I need to lose right at 100 lbs and I have High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol, arthritis and my mother is a breast cancer survivor the cancer was brought on by excess fat.
My sister is mad she says I am cheating taking the easy way
I think she is jealous.
my mom is worried.
But my husband is excited to see my success.
He keeps me going.
Good Luck!
