Hi Pammie
I can feel your frustration and pain through your words.
At this point I have not had the surgery, I am hoping to learn more about it before I take the plunge...its something that I said I would never have done, but the weight creeping on over the past couple of years, has made me really think about this as nothing else has helped.....I just dont have the drive to keep on track with diets, and although I dont believe I eat too much...I do graze through the day and always on the wrong stuff!! and have been overweight all my life.
I am in Australia and lap bands seem to be the most popular Bariatric surgery down here. We are planning a trip to the USA in November, and although getting my weight under control will be a lifetime commitment, the incentive to go overseas and enjoy what life has to offer before getting too much older has prompted me to look into this proceedure.
I guess the adjustments do take a while, but you have started to drop , although maybe not as quickly as you had hoped , but it looks positive Pammie.
I hope you do have a happy birthday and know that your 30's will be the best years you have, as over the next couple of year you are set to transform your life
