I didn't think I'd ever consider weight loss surgery but I feel desperate. I've reached the point of no return. I'm the highest weight I've ever been jumping between 235-240. I love to exercise but I just feel like a lump. I sleep so much now. I'm always thinking about when I either eat or nap next. My house is a mess. When I do find the energy or time to exercise, I hurt the next day. No, not the good hurt......the bad "I don't want to put my heels on the floor because it's going to hurt like hell". My leg swell and hurt since I had a blood clot last year.

So, what do I do......I attended a informational meeting tonight for lap band surgery. I learned my insurance is one of the easier ones to get approval. I've been research on the internet so I know quite a bit about the surgery. I also joined a very active Yahoo support group for lap band. Very informative. The next step is making a appointment and filling out the mound of paperwork required.
