I was a month away from having the band and got pregnant. :/ so now that im mot anymore Im back to it (: I just have to do the dietician visits for 3 months and wait for my insurance to approve! Im so excited to have this!!! I have been overweight my whole life and I cant express how happy I am to be doing this. I feel I will finally be fully happy. My body gets me down quite a bit when I get dressed and see my back fat and all my fat hanging over. Its so embarrassing. I've worked out and ate right and nothing has worked. !!!!!! So this was my last choice of course. However I am keeping it to myself. My husband knows and that's it. I have mentioned it to family and got told I was just lazy and trying to take the easy way out.. Well I dont see this being the easy way out at all. I see it being a helper to my weight loss. (:

Congrats and you're so right. Most of us just need a little help with holding back those eating demons that lurk around every kitchen, pantry as we drive by the burger/shake place and seem to taunt us with promises of soothing our pain while they slowly take away our health. Wow, that got dark quick? LOL No really, we just need that little boost to not be hungry all the time.

Congrats on your decision, sbake! I too have the band and it's not the easy way out. It's a solution to a battle.

Keep up a good attitude and you will be successful.

Congrats, it is too bad that people say that WLS is the easy way out. That sucks. Rise above it and focus on what your goal is. This is your life.

For those reasons, I stay away from people like that. My friends are MAINLY one who have had wls and who are supportive at all times. I hope you can change these peoples comments when they see how well you have done. And YOU WILL. Hugs

It means a lot to have supporters!! my husband and my mother in law are 100 % supporting me with it! I'm more than ready to get it!!! August/ September!! It'll be great to get this and finally be happy!! And healthy not only for myself but my children!! Thats the main reasoning I want to get it! I want to be able to go do things with my children and not feel uncomfortable.!
