He he he lapbandit. Aren't there plenty of single men on here who would understand your journey? At least your grocery bill would be small!

I'm married without kids.

I'm married (2nd marriage) but no kids yet. It hasn't really been my weight stopping me, but my life...career, my first marriage ending, meeting my hubby at the time that I did in relation to my career. Now I have to finish anesthesia school before I can try to be a mom. By then, I should be at my goal weight and able to keep pregnancy weight gain to the recommended level...provided I can get pregnant by then. We'll see! Balancing career and wanting to have a family has been tough.

I'm 34 and live in southern California ... I'm also married and have 4 kids (all boys!) I was banded 7/28/07 and I've lost 60+ lbs since my surgery, a total of 80+ lbs since my highest weight in February of last year. :biggrin1:

Hi everyone

I am 38 - well 39 next month and I live in Ipswich - Australia. This year is it for me!! No more putting it off!! I was banded in 2005 and lost 20 kilos and everything was going well until the 3rd fill which was too tight. I wasn't able to eat much and I think my metabolism slowed right down and I had some taken out which was ok at first but most of the weight came back on - but now the band is too loose. I was disapointed and upset and I stopped going to the gym and thought "what the hell" but I have realised that I did not do this to simply give up as soon as I hit a bump in the road so I am going back this week to have more in and to try again with a new attitude!!

:help: :whoo:

from this 2007 to this 2008

I am 34 y/o with two teenage daughters (had one at 19, one at 21) banded in sept and have lost 47 lbs. I was just married (2nd times the charm) one year ago -live near Seattle, Wa- realized that everything in my life is falling in place but that my weight had gotten way out of control and I had to take back the control or I would never be completely happy so here I am. Nice to see everyone.

I'm Crystal and I'm from the D/FW, TX area!

I'm 34 years old and I'm pursuing this lap band so I'll quit knocking shit off people's desks with my big arse. Also, so I can fit in a movie seat comfortably, but most importantly I don't have any kiddo's and want to have one. Me and my husband got pregnant in 11/05, but I had a miscarriage and lost the baby. I'm guessing it was because of my weight, though I've had friends that were 300 + deliver healthy babies, but I guess my body wasn't ready (I was like 260 then). Anyway... I'll find out in the next month if I get approved. All my stuff is done and now it's just the waiting game!!

There are two amazing folks from your area on bycyling (yes, I know it's spelled wrong) forum. Stephanie and Brandon. They aren't a couple, it's just a small world.

You should check them outs. Stephanie is so motivational and Brandon is a super nice guy.

My name is Tawnya, I am 30 years old no husband or kids, just a very active and cute Jack Russell!!! I am in the research stage of lap band. I am set on getting it I'm just researching doctors in MX because I am self pay. Apparently I'm not fat enough for my insurance!!

I live in the bay area ca, there are lots of great doctors out here just expensive. I have been up and down my whole adult life. I am at my highest now which is 230. my goal is 150. although I have never been that thin, I can't wait to see what I look like. Nice to meet everyone!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
