Bluebell

I am a married mummy of a 3 year old little girll.  I am very young at heart and love fashion and socialising but I have always felt in the shaddow of my thin friends and have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember.  I succeed at diets but always put the weight back on again.  Last year I did the Lighterlife diet (which was the worst diet I've ever done) and although I lost 3 stone, you guessed it...... I put it all back on again and more ending up heavier than I'd ever been before.  I had reached the end of the road, a brick wall and felt enough was enough.  I've wanted surgery for a very long time but my hubbie was totally against the idea.  It actually came down to us having an argument where I said "even if it means we get divorced I am having this surgery!!".  Afterwards, I purposely didn't mention anything in the hope he might come round. It was only after he, by chance, spoke to a work colleague who's wife had had a lap band that he came home and said he had changed his mind.  All along he was just concerned about the risks involved but his work colleague put his mind at rest and I spoke to the woman concerrned who answered a lot of my questions.I was banded on Sunday 17th January 2010 and am excited and nervous about the coming months/years.  I am getting rather sick of liquids and am looking forward to the puree stage!!
