Girly from Scotland

[Lynsay 0]

Hi there folks

I live in Aberdeen Scotland. I'm having my lapband fitted on Nov 19 in Prague. I'm so excited about my future becoming slim, but I have all these fears that I'm going to be the only one it doesn't work on and I've been reading all these things on the net about it not working on people and "fill issues" on the band.

Does anyone have any good encouraging words for me, I really need it. Never met anyone or known anyone "apart from Sharon Ozborne" who's had it done.

Hi Lynsay!

I live in Aberdeen also!

But in Washington State in the United States!

Welcome!

All of us are lifetime failures at dieting and keeping off weight. That reality makes us question whether or not the Lap-Band will work for us, when we have failed so many times before. The Lap-Band is DIFFERENT, because it puts a physical LIMIT on how much we can hurt ourselves. Also, anyone who isn't nervous about having MAJOR SURGERY is very unusual.

The one branch of my family that I traced back, over 150 years, came from England, but I know from oral family history that some of my ancestry is Finn.

Just as your Aberdeen means a confluence of rivers, our town was named for that.

Situated on Grays Harbor, we have 7 rivers within a short distance, but the ones the founders were interested in were the Wishkah, the Chehalis and the Hoquiam rivers.

Known as "The birthplace of grunge", Aberdeen has a number of well-known natives, notably Kurt Cobain and Chris Novoselic of the group "Nirvana".

Originally a logging town, Aberdeen now has a diverse economic base, with logging still playing a major part in the economy.
