Hi all, nice to be here. i am planning on getting pregnant but don't want to wait another year or so to get banded. i have read a few positive experiences from women who have kept their band and had healthy babies - any other comments?
on a personal note, since going clean and sober 14 years ago, the pounds have gone up every year - scrawny addict in 93, 275 lbs today. right now, i feel like i did when i gave up using - like something in my head has finally clicked and i know what i have to do to live a strong and healthy life. back then, i didn't know how to ask for help and now, i know how to ask and receive it.
plan is to travel to PV and have Dr Joya do the procedure January 25. i have family and my partner allison is coming with me.
i have shed all the emotional and spiritual baggage i can and now it is time for the physical to go. i feel like i am walking around carrying all this scar tissue from the past. pounds and pounds of it. the only fear i have is about feeling vulnerable without all this fat between me and the world!!! HA - bring it on!!!!!!!!!
thanks for listening
ella
