I'd debated different weight loss methods for years. I've tried prescriptions, mesotherapy (I paid big bucks for that pain), diet and exercise. While I'd had success with all of those methods, the weight loss was not sustained. After reaching my all time high weight this year and seeing a co-worker's LAP-BAND weight loss, I decided it was time for action. I'm ecstatic about having my surgery performed by the only female Bariatric surgeon in Florida -- Dr Tiffany Jessee. I just finished my third nutrition class today; only three more to go. Right now my biggest fears are blood loss during the surgery and trying to eat after the surgery. I don't want to learn the hard way that certain food doesn't agree with my band. Plus, I've thought about having another baby, but I don't want to have to wait until I'm in my late thirties and 18+ months post-op before trying to get pregnant. But overall, I'm so excited to be on this journey!
