Guest guest Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm new. I am currently on vacation in Santa Cruz with my family. I've been off work the past 6 weeks helping my husband recover from back surgery. I'm a mom with 4 kids ages 5, 14, 16, 18. Hi all. I just started reseaching this week about the lap band and actually started reading about the vertical sleeve procedure and like it better. It sounds a lot lower maintenance. 5 days later after starting my reseach, I've talked to Nina at Dr. Aceeve's and she has an opening on May 2nd! I haven't even brought this idea up to my husband yet! He's Mr. Skeptic, so I wanted to get all the facts first before I talk to him about it. My weight story: I'm 42 and have been yo yo dieting for years. I currently weigh 245, 5'9 " with 36 BMI. I've tried every diet under the sun and have owned so many duet books I can't count. My most successful attempt was 2 years ago on a medically supervised liquid diet / maintenance program through Kaiser that I shelled out $4K for. I did lose 50 lbs., but I didnt stick with the maintenance phase and ended up gaining everything back! I'm so disgusted with myself and don't understand why it's so hard for me to stick with anything. Anyways, am I crazy to do this?! How can I convince my husband this is a safe thing for me to do, especially in Mexico? May 2nd happens to be the day after my 43rd birthday too... Thanks for any words of wisdom & for listening.
