:girl_hug: (so i copied it and posted here .. not sure how to delete my other post in the general lap band area)

Hi I'm new here just was looking for support through my decision to have the lap band sugrery.

Alittle about me Im 32 and have been overweight for most of my adult life . Fluctuating between 250-235 and Im 5 '6

Im going through the steps to get the sugery approved through my insurance ..With no one in my family knowing

I just decided that I have been critisized enough for my weight ( always in joking ways) by my family ..and it was never funny to me. So this time Im not going to include anyone in this journey who I dont think will be supportive.

I know they would say .." You dont need it.. your not THAT big" But I do and I know have high blood pressure and signs of diabetes creeping up

SO ,Now the waiting begins .. Im super excited and super nervous .. but I know its the right thing.

Hope to make some friends too here :biggrin1:
