I was big.  Really big.. and i was beyond scared of having the lapband.  I originally wanted the bypass.  After hearing my insurance would only cover the banding I did some reasearch and after meeting with Dr. Shayani, I was sold.  Knowing a foreign object would be inside me was scary but I agreed with everything else the band had to offer.  After almost 8 months of pre-op i finally had my surgery.  I lost 22 lbs in 2 weeks and thought i did bad!  I was sitting in the waiting room talking with others who lost 12 lbs 14 lbs 9 lbs.. i thought i didnt lose anything these people are lucky.  Then I find out I lost the most of all them :) After my pregnancy I am having problems and its been two years now.. we cant figure it out and I am currently stuck at the same weight and have been for almost 7 months now.  I will admit I am happier but I think I just keep telling myself that to make myself feel better.  When I see pictures of other people I get sad and upset that I should be there too but for some reason I am not.. Hopefully soon I can submit photos of a successful change..
