Well I knew I was over weight but I never considered surgery until that day. After the meeting I was extremely timid and did not seek further help from the doctor. Instead, I set my sites on having a baby. I have PCOS and needless to say I can't get pregnant on my own. It will take medical intervention and time. The time part got me thinking. I told myself that it was inevitable, I am going to be and older mom. I started thinking of my health and ailments and realize there would be no way I could keep up with a baby right now so how in the world do I think I could do it in a couple of years. That decision made me realze that alot of my pain stems from my weight so FINALLY I was ready to do something about it. I did lots and lots of research. I decided the lap banding was right for me. March of 2009 i made my first appointment to see the nutritionist and Dr Bonomo. Every month I have been going to regular nutrition sessions and making progess. Due to insurance purposes this had to go on for 6 months. Well August 12 was the last appointment. Now I am waiting for all papers to be given to my doctor and be sent to the insurance agency for processing. I am nervous and excited.her help from the doctor.
