Hi. I'm Mindy. I've been thinking about having the Lap-Band procedure done for a while now, and today I made my appointment for the education session. I go on Feb 27th. I'm very eager. I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but I know this is the road I want to take to battle my obesity. Ive tried all the fad diets. Tried weight loss shakes, pills, soups, drinks, etc. I used to take phentermine, and sure it helped for a while, but then I had two babies back to back. Cutting that med cold turkey I believe was my biggest downfall. I'm hopeful about this journey. Im at the stage in my life where Im sitting there with a fridge full of junk, looking at the things that once I loved to eat, and found comfort in.......and all I can see now is my worst enemy. I have kids to think about.....I want to watch them grow. I have a husband I adore, and who I want to grow very old with. The way life is going right now, none of those hopes and dreams will happen, unless I take control today. I'm here to seek advice and support from those who are embarking on the same journey, or those who are living proof of the positive outcome. I have a tremendous support system within my family, but sometimes a perfect stranger can make you feel that theres a complete unbias response behind their words. I hope thats true with this group. I myself, will try to do my best to be positive for anothers in here. I look forward to sharing this with you all. oXo:tongue:
