Okay, forgive me if I make any mistakes as to where I'm posting this but I'd like some input.
I'm a 22 year old Marine wife & SAHM of two beautiful boys. My eldest son is 22 months and my youngest is 7 months old. Now I've always been heavier then everyone in my family, friends included, and I'm sick of it. I've been on diets here and there and while it's only temporary weight loss, I'm looking for a more permanant kind. I've dealt with weight problems my whole life and now is when I actually have an oppurtunity to do something serious about it. I've always been able to lose some weight here and there but after my last pregnancy, it just won't go away!!
I've been looking online at all the website and doing my research and this honestly seems like the best thing for me. I've talked to my mother and she's more then willing to come down and help take care of my kids. My husband said he supports me 1000% but nonetheless, he loves me the way I am. So while everything seems good and I get the go ahead from a lot of people, most of my friends are all "OMG NOOOO!" They're telling me that they're "heard" horror stories about the lapband and blah blah blah. I really don't care what they think though because in the end I'm going to do what I think is best but what the heck?!
Anyway, my question is...what are the possible things that could go wrong? What horrow stories are they talking about? Side effects? Should I be scared? lol.
