Hello everyone! I was approved for my lap-band today and I am very excited and nervous of course! I am a 27 year old mother of two boys and married for 6 years to my wonderful husband. I started this jouney in November when I went in to to see my primary doctor and could not hold back tears about my weight. I have tried every diet in the book, even pills that my doctor gave me. Nothing has worked and I was at my highest weight (while not pregnant) ever. My doctor told me about the lap-band and although I had never heard of it, I felt like a new door had opened in my life. Here I am 3 months later approved and my surgery is March 14th at Pennsylvania Hospital. Right now I am 235, 5'5 BMI 39.9. I will be floating around with many questions in the next month! I am in need of support as I have made the decision to not tell anyone about my surgery but my husband. It was a long thought out decision that I think is the best for me. So I am here to hopefully meet some wonderful fellow lap-banders who can support me in my journey.
