  2. Happy 27th Birthday ssandedoc!

  3. Back in January I was diagnosed with sleep apnea after falling asleep at the wheel and having a mini wreck in my car. Doctor had me do two nights of sleep test, anyway I had an apneaic event 90 times an hour! I am 25 year old guy, 5'10'', 400lb. I was referred to a lap band specialist. Tuesday I start my first of three visits with the nutritionist. If all goes well, should have the lap band done in June/July. I am going through the motions of wanting this done and not wanting it done. I had success with Weight Watchers 4-5 years ago and lost over 75lbs, but gained 150 in its place. Lot of frustration that I didn't keep the weight off. I definitely think it was emotional related. I want to loose my weight naturally again, but I am having hard time motivating myself to go back to Weight Watchers or try something else. I know the band is a tool, but I don't want to do it and gain weight back. Is that even possible?

    Still on the fence about surgery.

    Hey Mel, Totally understand where you are coming from because I'm in the same boat as you. I go Tuesday for my first pre-op nutritionist appointment. I have do this for 3 months before I can schedule the surgery date. I am 25 and been struggling with my weight my entire life. My thinking is that I go ahead and start the wheels now and do everything possible to get this surgery scheduled, etc. If something miraculous happens in the next few months and I don't want surgery, so be it. But if I can't change in 3-4 months then its time to do something. I have been off a lifestyle/diet plan for couple years now, tried to get back into the motions but feel like I have too much to loose (over 200 pounds). Does your insurance require you see a psychologist before surgery? Maybe scheduling an appointment with a therapist would help you straighten things out better.
