hi there I'm new and am looking for advice/info/love etc..
I am 23 female and weigh 115kg, the most I have ever weighed. Suffice to say I am very miserable. My doctor has referred me to a surgeon and I am thinking about the lap band as this seems the least permanent. I have an initial consult on thursday and just have a few questions for anyone willing to share their experiences
why did you choose lap band out of all the surgery options?
how long after seeing a surgeon did you have to wait to get the op done?
what preparation did you have to do?
how long were you out of work/life for after the operation?
what can you eat? what can't you eat? what are some of the problems you have/had?
what kind of results have you had?
has it been worth it?
this seems to be my last option I have tried pills/milkshakes/no carbs/dietitians etc. etc. and I exercise alot but carrying around twice my body weight makes me hungry and tired and so far no permanent or motivating results...
I apologise if this is the second post I have made, couldn't see the first one, as I am new to the forum
