Well, I attended my consult on Sept 4th and the surgeon shot me down in flames. His reason being I cannot handle artificial sweeteners of ANY type. I get quite ill from them. So, he won't do the lap-band. I told him I only drink coffee, water, and unsweetened iced tea (that's the way I've always liked it). He said it was, "Impossible for people to live on just drinking coffee, water, and tea.". Told him I was already doing it. That doesn't matter to him. I have an alternate plan, though. I will do 6mos with my dr for diet/exercise, then go see a different surgeon around here. Gonna check out other options... like DS.

Hi! I'm a 42 year old wife and mother of 3. My oldest is a Marine, my second oldest is 16, and my youngest is almost 3. My husband and I met while we were truck drivers ( he still drives ). I don't drive anymor e since moving to GA in 07, but look forward to driving again, hopefully next year. I am not from the mainland, but am a transplanted Native Hawaiian , and all of my family members back home are big. As a child , my first diet was at age 11. Although I was active in sports , and hated being indoors, I was still big . Been dieting ever since. Lose some, gain back plus some. Sigh. I'm getting dizzy from this roller coaster rid e and I need to get off.
