Hi there,
My name is Denise and I'm on the road to be banded. Our HMO only does
the banding in groups and they just did it so I'll be slotted in for Feb 2007!
I have some questions and dont know if this is the right bb, I'll pose them
and then if it's not the right place maybe someone can re-direct me and I
can repost there.
Before I ask I'd like to say how thankful I am that I found this site and
that I can have the support of those who have been there.
My situation is, BMI is about 37 but I have apnea (moderate) and high BP
and pre diabetes and a horrible history of cancer on mom's side.
My doc thought that going from about 193 (goal pre op weight) down to
about 170 would be considered success. Am I delusional to think that that
is NOT much to lose? My goal would be to have a mini and a main goal.
Mini goal would be to get to 150 and then main goal to between 135 and 140.
I am only 5'4 (just under actually) and 135 is still considered to be high
in weight. Is it unreasonable to think I could get to my personal main
goal? I know a LOT depends on me and how I do things but thought I'd
like your thoughts too.
Thanks so much,
Denise
