CarriedAway

Love your attitude! I am a "doer" and acheiver in so many other areas of my life. I just can't put the food down in spite of how much I want this!! I gues at 5"10" my weight is comparible to yours at your start. I am a good 270. Bleck. Luckily I am still cute at 40~ :-). I get home in two weeks from 6 months corp. training. and have an appointment with my GP but I doubt she'll recommend this. Did insurance pay for yours??? If so, how did you find a Doc who would work with you? I am 40 BMI, on meds for choesterol, been on every diet imaginiable, including OA and have mild joint and back issues. I think that makes me a good candidate. I saw something about LapBand groups... know anything about that? Thanks for your help! I have a million questions so I guess I should just take my time with this. Pelase let me know if you're open to a few questions (IE time off work, pain, post diet, etc.). The L.B. website doesn't offer a lot that way. Cheers!! Carrie < confused but hopeful

Pammie, Thanks for sharing your pics on WebShots. I am researching the lapband and would love to have it done. Noy sure what's ahead... but at your surgery, you looked to be about my size and age now. I would SOOO love to drop this weight. Tried everything but the band seems so drastic and a little like "failure" at this point. Any thoughts?? Carrie :-?
