This is my story
I've put a lot of weight on in this last few years because of difficulties including losing my job because of ill health and having a child with autism and behavioural difficulties. I've always used food as a comfort but now my weight problem is serious and I've decided (and booked) to have a lap-band. I'm really embarassed about my weight and although I am quite social it has stopped me doing certain things. I'm not exercising and don't really want to see old friends and colleagues because I can see the shock in their eyes when they see my weight gain! Also I fell over before christmas and because of my weight fell hard, hurt myself and felt really shaky. My joints also hurt and I don't have a lot of energy. Like a lot of people I've tried many a diet including weight watchers, slimming world, shakes, xenical, exercise and can lose the pounds and stones but inevitably put the weight back on and some...
Anyway, action! I've paid my money, researched the whole lap-band thing and have my operation a week tomorrow! My hubby and daughter support me and my friend is coming to the hospital for moral support. We've told my son I'm going on holiday because if I told him he would tell everybody - he has no sense of secrets!
I'm quite scared but also quite excited! Glad to be part of this web-forum because I have a feeling I am going to need some moral support!
