I had LapBand June 2011 and became pregnant shortly after. I moved away from my surgeon because of my job and was unable to use the band while pregnant. I had my daughter and shortly after was laid off, was focused on helping my husband through a new found depression state and then a year later had moved and filed for divorce. I no longer had insurance that would cover my visits and being a new single mom, money didn't grown on trees.

Long story short when I had the band done I knew I needed more help but gastric bypass scared me. I'm ready to focus on myself and my health again. Been there with the dieting but I need more help. I'm not considering gastric sleeve. Surgery scares me and lapband was no walk in the park but I want to be around for my daughter. I'm in relatively good health but how long will that last since I am so overweight.

I was once super active on here and need to get back with it. I feel like the sleeve was what I was looking for in the first place but it wasn't well known or an option for me at the time as I don't think my surgeon did it.

I dread this process, I am excited for the future, I'm scared of surgery, I am just a bucket of nerves and emotions.

Any advice, encouragement, anything would be greatly appreciated :-)
