I have been overweight all of my life, joined weight watchers when i was nine and many many more other programs for 30 years with some sucess but now 100 + overweight. I have waited 2.5 years for this, Alberta Health care has funded 25 lapbands and I worked hard to become one of the 25. I attended classes run by a dietician, originally there was 75 in the class we had expectations to keep like food diaries, , setting goals speaking with phsycologists etc etcing diaries so on and so forth. I feel I am ready but with some reservations, I am having trouble letting go of not being able to have some foods ever again. However I am in day four of fasting so all I can think about is food.
