My LB surgery is scheduled for one week from today. I have been struggling with the thought that getting the Lap Band is cheating - going around behind God's back, so to speak. But I have decided that getting the Lap Band is my helicopter. You've heard the story about the man stranded on the roof of his house with flood waters all around him praying for a miracle . . . . . God sends all kinds of people and resources, but the man doesn't see that they are from God. God even sends a helicopter, but the man ignores it. He dies in the flood and in Heaven asks God why He didn't save him. Well, I am now looking at the LB as my helicopter. :wub:

I am SO wondering this same thing. My banding is schedule for one week from today. I want to be healthy and thin, but I also am grieving not being able to go to McDonald's and sink my teeth into a Big Mac!!!! I am going to miss bread and fast food terribly!!!
