Hi all! I am considering the lap band surgery and want to be able to have a community to help me understand what the surgery entails, and what I can expect in respects to going through the entire process. I am a little nervous about this but I'm at least thinking about it. I have a degenerative back problem, a bad knee and they are VERY painful. I know that no surgeon will consider operating on me because of my weight. I'm hoping that just by losing the weight, the back and knee problem will get better. I'm very self conscious about my weight and always being the biggest in the room. I have 7 year old twin boys that I want to be able to play with, but I'm too heavy to run around. I've been on weight watchers and did well up to a point and then I lost my motivation. I've got to do something - either the surgery or find my motivation and will power and stick to WW. I'm so lost right now and don't know what to do. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Best wishes to all who are going through the process right now.
