And the Saga continues.... I like most everyone else on this board have had a weight problem since I was a small child. I have tried every diet under the sun, from taking pills, fasting, Atkins, South Beach, Dr. Phil’s, Weight Watchers, Cabbage soup diet, etc. All have been successful but only "Temporary" then eventually I’d gain twice as much back when it snuck back up on me! Can anyone relate? I'm sure. I've been curious about the WLS for quite awhile now. I never knew there were different types. I when ever I bring it up to my family I just get comments that I'm lazy, crazy, and not "Fat" enough! Oh, and according to them I just want to take the easy way out! Well... My mother is 5'6 and 180lb and is at her heaviest. I love her to death by she doesn't understand what fat feels like.. I'm not lazy, just tired. I don't want to live this life anymore. I have two beautiful daughters and just pray that they got their donor's genes and never end up the way I am. My Fiance on the other hand is very supportive. We've been together since 10'03. He is almost done with his last year of Dental school, studying general dentistry but wants to pursue Oral Surgery. He as always has insisted that I am beautiful the way I am, BUT... I always laugh at this part, "If I am unhappy with myself, than he supports anything that I choose to do." "Anything???" wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple!! Anyway, I really want this surgery now, I know it has said to take awhile, and it's a long process but I am determined to do everything I can to make this happen really soon. I graduated last February with a bachelor degree in business administration minoring in Human resources management and I wanted to be a thin graduate! Yeah, that didn't happen! Any suggestions as to getting things done faster will be great! Anyhow, I've been reading through profile after profile and have read great, good, bad, and horrible experiences (not lap banders!). Am somewhat nervous but I have faith in the Lord and know that he will put me in good hands and lead me to make good decisions to stay healthy for myself, family and of course my two beautiful daughters.
