Hi everyone,
I've loved reading everyone's posts - it's really helpful to know that people are going though the same thing I am.
I actually just had the lapband surgery done a few months ago. A girlfriend of mine did it and lost 70 pounds. I was totally chicken at first, but she told me I should at least try the consultation so I did. I had a consultation with three different places, but ended up liking Love Lap Band the best. There was this girl who worked with me there who had gone through the surgery herself and I liked that. I was really lucky because my insurance covered the whole thing - so I thought, why not?
I have lost 36 pounds so far. I have a long ways to go, but I feel like I'll be able to do it. I'm not hungry because of the Lap Band - so I don't really feel the need to eat all the time - but I can go out with my friends and eat. I have a lot of health problems because I've been fat my whole life. My knees hurt all the time and I have trouble sleeping. The past couple weeks, I feel different. It's not all the way gone, but it's so much better than it was. I'm hoping once I get down a little more I won't feel it at all.
So I guess my question to you all is, do any of you have the Lap Band? If so, did you go through (site removed) too? I'm dying to know your experiences because I'm still kind of new at this!
Thanks!
Amelia
