I have my first appointment with the surgeon tomorrow after being referred by my primary care physican. I am so scared that he is going to tell me no, that I am not a good candidate. And maybe I'm not...I don't have any serious medical conditions at this point, just a serious family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, & heart disease. I just can't seem stop/control my eating anymore. I was on Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost 120lbs, but have since gained it back. I am turning to the lap band because I cannot forsee struggling like this for the rest of my life. I am mentally exhausted and depressed about getting up every day hungry and trying desperately to eat controlled portions, but failing. My BMI is 40 and I think without any co-morbidities, he is going to reject me...
