Hi all! I've been reading a lot of your posts. You are all very informative! I'm seriously considering the band. I went to a seminar in July and I have an appointment to talk to a surgeon on the 12th. My concern and the reason I'm on the fence, is because I'm a single mom and My daughter is 17 months old. I know that I won't be able to lift her for about 6 weeks after surgery, so I'm not sure how I'm going to manage. On top of that, I can stay with my mom, but I really don't want to stay there for 6 weeks, but I'll deal with that when the time comes.
My other concern is what happens with all of the skin! I don't have the money to have a tummy tuck once I loose the weight, so I'm pretty concerned about that. But I guess being obese is a lot worse then extra skin huh!
Anyway...Looking forward to getting to know many, if not all, of you in my Quest to lose weight.
