I started over a year ago with the process of possibly getting the lapband surgery. However, about 3/4 of the way through the process I found out I was pregnant. Now that I have had my baby girl and am not having any more children (we have five now), i decided to start the process again. It has been a rather easy, but stressful experience so far. I am not worried about the procedure itself, but am VERY worried about the effects it is going to have on me and life afterwards....not just physically, but also emotionally. Food is my best friend and I am going to have to readjust many things in my life....it is not going to be easy. This is going to be a learning process not only for me, but for my whole family. I think once things get rolling after the surgery my family and I will eventually adjust and be happy that I did it.
