I am in the process of looking into the lapband procedure. I am going to a seminar on the 17th. I have always struggled with my weight all my life. I was the "butterball" used in PE class. :think I have done weight watchers three times with one of those time losing 90 pounds. Of course, I gained that back. I have also done south beach x2 and herbalife along with cutting calories on my own with failure. :faint:I am getting ready to turn 44 years old and it is getting harder to lose the weight. Being a nurse in the operating room, I am on my feet all day and boy do I ever hurt when I get home! I feel like I am 90 years. I have high BP and Cholestrol as well as low sugar. My joints and lower back hurts to high heaven on most days. I have to do something for my sake as well as for my husband and children.

I am nervous, excited and sacred all at the same time. Wow, what an emotional roller coster this is. :omg: After finding this website and reading some of the threads, I know I have found a group of people in whom I can count on for support down this new journey.

I am concern about the thinning of the hair, drinking the "nasty" Protein liquids (if it smells or tastes bad, boy I am in trouble), not drinking during your meal and making sure I get the required daily Protein. :help:

When I look at the pros and cons, I need to get back to quality of living. Thank you for listening to the battle of the bulge in ky! :hungry:
