Chicken poop

[LVGirl 4]

Just scared of all that can go wrong. I have a 14month old. Some folks on here aren't even losing weight. My neighbor only lost 30lbs. I dont want to put myself through it for nothing.

If you work the band, it will work for you. This is not an instant weight loss mechanism. You do need to put in the effort to lose the weight, but it is the most incredible tool I have ever used in my battle. I am an AF wife and I understand your stress and anxiety, but you can do it! Don't compare (or focus on) the negative responses on here or from your neighbor to yourself. Focus on you and your goal and being around in 30 years for your 14 month old. I got scared reading all of the negative posts on here but I am doing and feeling great!

Go on to My profile, and click on Topics. I want you to read the whole thing. I lost weight before. Switched Surgeons, and am back to doing it again.

If you , your band, your Doctor all work together. this is doable.

You say your gaining weight anyway, so what have you got to lose but weight !

Sure it's different.. But if you needed a new valve for your heart, would you think twice. I sure hope not.

Well this can cut your life too.

Yes you will be different, You will have good, and bad days. That comes with the band, and life !

You say you want to raise your kid ? Then don't take the risk, and shorten it, or shoot your knees like I did. Or Diabetes.

Your not weighing this out right. Your scared, and your using the little one for a excuse.

I am delighted that I am banded. Everyone that I new that had Bypass is DEAD.

So think clearly, you have a chance do it while you can.

I know I am glad I am Banded, and that's going on 5yrs.

So read the info under Topics.
