We have all made a very important decision in our life and that’s to have a better life thanks to the help of Lapband. I am schedule for surgery on November 5, 2009. I have only shared this with my parents, brothers and 3 very close friends. I haven’t told anyone at work nor any neighbors not because I am ashamed of what I am doing but because I don’t want to hear any negative remarks. I have told everyone that I am on a diet which is correct I am on a diet and that I am exercising I am not lying about that I just don’t think they need to know more for right now… Good luck to you.
