MALLORYGRO

So i keep thinking about the surgery going on.. and if i should get it or not. recently at work they send out a company wide information packet about how the whole hotel is doing. and on guest that i recently delt with call me the "heavy set girl." To everyone surprise that bothered me and made me cry. i believe my supervisor was surprised when he noticed that the unifocus made me upset. Reading what that woman had to say about the "heavy set girl" made me want to consider the surgery more and more. i'm still quiet uncomfortable about the whole situation. and trying to decide if i should actually go through with it. my boyfriend is the main reason that i wouldn't get it done. i would want him behind me on getting the surgery done and he always says "babe your fine the way you are. Dont let people put you down." i need help can some one please give me some advice on what i should do -Girl who needs help!:biggrin:

Hi everyone.. my name is Mallory i'm 20 years old and considering the lap band surgery. unfortunitally i'm totally unsure about if i should get it done or not. i am currently at the weight of 268 pounds and 5'9" tall and only 150 pounds over weight. i'm not sure what i should do and i'm very nervous and dont know what to do. please some one help me and kinda try to make a choice! thanks everyone for your help! thanks again Mallory:unsure:

:confused2: So i went home from work last night and talked to my sister about joining the forum. and talking to people who have had the surgery, she thinks that joining this may help me and may make me pick my descion alot faster than i already am. i'm still stressed out about alot. working 2 jobs and trying to figure out things that are best for me are driving me up a wall.. i hope to god that i can figure out what i'm doing sooner or later... because i think that i know now that this is what is best for me! signed Stressed and confused!

your right... everyday when i go into my job at the ferry company that i work at... i see this woman who had the surgery eat full pans of ravioli and all this junk food but then when she gets the fill she trys to eat solid food the day after. its like she doesn't care that i am watching her and asking her what she thinks. its like she is a big disappointment to me. i'm just trying to think of what was best for me. i need to lose weight and it took me 6 months almost to lose 20 pounds

i'm just still not sure... i want to do this for me but i also want to do this for my grandfather. he has been my moral support through everything since my grandmother died 6 years ago. I'm very nervous and just extremely stressed about the whole thing. i work with a woman at one of my jobs who has had the surgery and she said that she is about ready to give up and not get the fills anymore. i just dont know hearing that and then being so unsure... makes me extremely unsure and unfortunitally my mental state right now with all this stress it is difficult to make my choice! being 20 and trying to make such a huge choice is extremely hard.

I'm all about the research and information. i'm just very nervous i've never had surgery i just had a tendiency to break bones and fall down stairs and mess up my hands. I just dont know i live in ct and i dont know who would be a good dr. and who would be the best person. now that book does it have a good information and good details that would help me?? i'm just nervous and i've been thinking about it for almost 2 months... HELP!
