soldouthippie replied to LindaD's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have heard the same scenario from lots of other pre lap banders.. hang in there.. I hope to have my done to..but I am not as far along as you.. I hope I dont run into the same crap you are.. but I am sure I will run into some of it... Just look foward to the light at the end of the tunnel.. and How great you will look.. buthe way .. I think you look great right now.. and lucky you tohave such a supportive and cute partner.. good luck Irene -
hey Vanilla, I really hope that things go better for you.. I am a lot older than you and I was thinking of getting the band because I dont have any willpower,, but like you I love the texture and smell of real food.. I hope the banding will be worth it for me. I am sixk of being fat.. I have been without a man for a long time and I feel that if I weighed less all my problems would be solved you hang in there ..I am sure once you start losing ..you feel better inside and out :thumbs_up: Irene
