Is Your Moment Now?
I get an email off and on from a Real Age site....This was in my box this morning....This is for people thinking about surgery or the lap band....It is very good....under the part :Dangers of Belly Fat there are two video's the second one is Dr. Oz explaining how you get belly fat....Quite interesting! It is really advertizing for the lap band...but the reality is it applies to all who are over weight deciding weight loss is for them....You are not a failure by choosing surgery.....That was my thought. This will help you see that....

Dr. OZ and Dr. Roisen's books were what ultimately led me to WLS-they kind of took the moral failure part away for me. My band is no more a moral failure than a brace on my leg-it's just something I need.
The whole omentum becoming like another organ-complete with hormones, just wigged me out and I felt like i had to get this off in a way I had never felt before. I don't think they meant for it to be scary, just another way to look at the issue, but THAT was what did it for me-and that's what keeps me moving forward.
