I have battled with my weight since a car accident when I was 21!  I first decided to have the lapband procedure in 2008, I booked the appointment to see the doctor, read the books, did the research and the chickened out!  I am glad I did, I don't think I had the support system I needed then!  My husband Chris is so supportive now, which I don't think he would have been had I done it without the wait!  My best friend Jaime is the best support system, she even offered to do the pre-op diet with me (coming from someone who is 5' 8" and 125lbs maybe thats not a good idea :-)  The kids are also older and less dependant as they were just 2 years ago!  So I have had my Dr's appointment (fun!  Gotta love the term morbidly obese!)  passed the psych test (shock horror!) and now I am waiting for what excuses the insurance company will give me for not paying for my surgery!
