Hi. How did your fill experience go? I am thinking about getting banded by Dr. Ortiz, did you also? If so, how was your experience? Thanks, Aida

"P.S. The men on Dr.O's staff are all easy on the eyes too!! " THAT WAS TOO FUNNY!!!!

Thanks for your comment! I thought I was the only one out there for a moment. What was your husband's biggest reservation? Does he have no problem at all with your size? I ask because my husband prefers full figured but not fat women. Sometimes I think about what if I have the surgery and get too small? Will he then no longer attracted to me? But then I have to remind myself why and for who I am doing this, ME. I guess we will just have to find that happy medium.

I decided to tell my husband about wanting to pursue lap band surgery last night. Needless to say it did not go well. Mostly because he feels that it is #1 a waste of money, and #2 a cop-out of sorts. But, in all honesty, I knew he would have that reaction so I cannot even say that I am surprised. I guess I was hoping that he would say "Sureeeee! Let's book the appointment today!" Wishful thinking I know. I can't expect him to know how it feels to have a weight problem because after all, he's looked perfect his entire life so he knows nothing different. Sometimes I wish I could snap my fingers and put 50 extra pounds on him so he could feel what it is like to carry the extra weight. I have been dealing with weight issues for 15 years now and I am at the point where I am ready to make the change. I am tired of it ALWAYS being an issue in my head and dominating my life. I just want to wake up one day and not think about my FAT. Is that too much to ask for? Is that selfish? I do not think so. Then my husband has the nerve to compare me wanting to spend $7K for lap band to him wanting to buy a pleassure car???? WTF???? How do you compare a neccessity (health) to a luxury item (car)? Today we talked about it again and after I asked him not to discuss it with anyone he tells me that he called his friend who is a doctor to ask about nutrition. The gesture was nice but he does not get it. I know about nutrition, I know what I am SUPPOSE to eat, I just don't. At least not consistently. He thinks that we can start a crusade to loose the fat! It sounds great but this is what I have been trying to do for 15 years! Now he sees how serious I am in terms of getting surgery that now he wants me to try his way. How many times have I done that in the past and failed? I am tired of failing, DIETS DON"T WORK! I am ready for this lifestyle change and so help me GOD I am going to do it.
