Hi Everyone!

I am scheduled for the lapband on 2/25. I am 35 and new to the boards. I'm getting nervous and hoping that all my skin stays where it should!

Is there anyone out there that had the lapband?

Hi, I don't have Lap Band, i just wanted to welcome you to OH. It's a great supportive and informative place. Check out the different boards, they each have a flavor of theor own. Good Luck to you! --Christina

Hi,
I am also considering surgery but if I understood my doctor correctly and from a few pictures on here as evidence, you get the same amount of excess skin with both the lapband and gastric bypass R.N. So I am leaning towards the gastric bypass. You dont have to go back for as many visits and I think it would work better for me if I see it coming off.
Are you scared? The excess skin scares me most to. I wonder if my dear Hubby (who claims to love me no matter what and I believe him) would be turned off by it. They can say no but what happens when it is there and I am standing in front of him in my birthday suit?  I think the surgery and after surgery should scare me more but the excess skin think is what would break me. I also posted on here if the amount of excess would be the same without surgery , because if it would why am I even worring about it. lol
I really want to do this so I can have less pain (back and legs). So I can sleep better, and so i can have more energy to play with my little girl. And I use to love to run so that would be a plus without getting out of breath so quick. Also I would so love to fit in my bathtub for relaxation. lol
Well if you want to chat email me at [email protected]
I would love to have a friend through this if we decide on surgery.
Buy the way I am also 35. And are you a mommy?
