Scared to be banded

I am in the exact same boat. No health problems...just fat! But I have a husband and 2 kids and I want to be around for them. Plus I LOVE to travel and with each pound it is harder and harder. We are having to pay out of pocket too (yikes). But it will be worth it...I know it will. Any discomfort will ease quickly and you will be healthier in the long run!

Hi! I am scheduled for the 15th. I am also anxious but so very excited. I have felt the way you do. WHy cant I just lose the weight normally. I have tried and have failed then gained more weight than before. The only reason this is the option for me is because my grandparents were so gracious to offer to pay. I really feel God answered my prayers because I have prayed so many times about my health, about my physical pain, my borderline diabetes and the inability to even go walk with my children. I feel this was an answered prayer and am so excited to be on my journey. It is a huge commitment so I think its good you are taking this very seriously and looking at all your options. This website as been a great resource for me during my research. I wish you the best of luck whatever your decision is.
