New-Exploring Options-Seriously Considering Lap Band

[Mamadot 0]

All of your posts are so helpful! I've been seriously overweight my entire adult life, yo-yo dieting for 20+ years, and I feel I'm ready for a drastic change. Gastric bypass is not an option I would choose for myself. Lap Band seems like a much safer option. I like the idea of starting over with a stomach like a new baby's. I know this will not be easy, but my best friend and I are strongly considering taking this journey together, and I have a wonderful husband supporting me. I want to be actively involved with my two young boys throughout their lives. So, I think I'm ready for this.:thumbup: I have a consult on 3/9, and hopefully I'll be scheduling soon after.

Best wishes to you, Mamadot and good luck as you begin your journey! It's great that you have a friend who is also considering a gastric band. It's very helpful to have someone by your side who is going through the same thing. It's wonderful that your husband is supportive too. Mine is as well, and I can't say enough, how much that has helped me.
