I feel so fat. Just plain ugly. I look in the mirror when I shop and can't believe that is me. I don't want to be intimate, don't want to shop and feel that my weight controls my life at times. So what do I do....eat more. People look at me strange. I know when I was thinner everyone treated me differently. I don't need to be a size 2. I just want to buy clothes at a regular store. I want to feel good again. I want to have energy. I want to care about myself. I have cared for everyone else all my life. Its time for me an not feel guilty.

I've just started the process of getting evaluated for lapband. I've had my blodwork, confirmed insurance covers this procedure and have all my appts lined up. It looks good for probably March. I find myself not caring what I eat and have gained almost 20 lbs since October. Did anyone else go through this before their surgery? I'm so happy about getting the surgery. I can't wait. The doctor said I was the perfect candidate for it. Now I need my nutrition consult x2/sleepstudy/cardiology/GI workup/psychiatrist then done. Suggstions so I don't weigh 300lbs by the time it comes??? I'm now at 240 and was 228 prior to looking into getting this done sharon RN/MSN:help::hungry:

Sarah I'm a nurse and this is the safest procedure for you. If your doctor is a good one he would have screened you well enough that you shouldn't worry. Have you ever had anesthesia before? If so that's your proof that things will go well. I just starting the process but I've spent a long time researching this before I made the decision....good luck sharon:)
