Thinking of getting Banned!!!

Hello Everyone,

I am thinking about getting the Lap Band Procedure done, and I found this site while doing research. I have read through some posts and felt this would be a great place to join while going through these decisions and eventually (hopefully) the Procedure.

I am 34 years old and weigh 294!!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!! I also have a pacemaker due to a genital heart condition. I am nervous about the procedure, and also very hopeful. I have been overweight since I was 18 and had my first child. However, this is the heaviest I have ever been.

I really want to get healthy again for me and my family!!!

I look forward to "meeting" everyone!

Rae

Welcome to LBT Rae. There is a thread on here somewhere about lap banders with heart issues...if I can find the link I will post it.

Hang out, read up, and ask any questions you have. This is a wonderfully informative, and supportive group of people.

I am totally thrilled with my band, and could not have ask for a better experience.

I started out at about your weight, and I know for a fact it CAN be done!!! I am not a die hard dieter with my band, I live a very normal life. I eat most things, just in serious moderation.

I look forward to getting to know you too!!!
