Hello I fly into sandiago monday sept 5, banded 6th and homw the 8th.

Hi everyone, So I have finaly made up my mind!! I am ready for this long and exciting journey of having a lap band. My best friend had one done yesterday (shes doing great). I am going off to nursing school sept 25th and need to make this possitive change in my life. My weight today is 284 down from 330 last year january. It has been a huge struggle and i have kept it off. The worst thing for me is the thought of gaining it all back. I am only 23 and have back and joint pain, with a history of diabetes and heat problems in the family, i need to get this under control. The only people that know about my surgery is my huband (who has supported me through all my issues the last few years) and my best friend. Just them 2!! I don't feel like i need to tell anyone else. I don't want people in my life to say "oh she only lost the weight because of surgery". My family thinks im going on vacation. lol I am scheduled to land in SanDiago sept 5, surgery sept 6 and home sept 8. I am so excited for my freind and myself we are both in the medical field and are supporting each other all the way. For those who have been to tj we really want some info on good shopping!
