Thankyou so much everyone!! i realise that lapbanding is serious and its a very very big decision for me. i know its hard work, but its the first step to helping me in a positive way as normal diets plus exercise didnt end with me losing weight. Atleast with the band hopefully that plus exercise and correct eating will really help! Hearing your stories really helps me put my decision into perspective! My family arn't reallly a great support through this as my mom has asked me to tell nobody. She is larger that side of my family are all the same way, actually both sides are. Yet so hard on me for my weight! Due to my depression and sickness i have lost most of my close friends so the only person i really have to support me is my partner and sometimes its not enough and he doesn't want to listen. My family don't really believe in surgery they believe natural is better so im fighting an uphill battle and it just makes me feel so alone.
Love and wishes,
Sammy
