My husband and I went to see Dr. Clinch this morning. We discussed my options and he went over the pros and cons of the lapband surgery. He said that he recommended that I have a sleep study done to rule out any sleep apnea plus I will need to meet with a nutritionist and a psychologist. When I got back into the office, I was able to make all my appointments for the next two weeks. My appointment with the sleep specialist is only a consultation. So, I'm not sure how soon I can get the actual study done.
One of the things Dr. Clinch emphasised is that the lapband is a tool. Diet and exercise is still necessary. I believe that with this tool, I will be successful. The problem in the past is that I would loose a bit of weight only to get discouraged, because it stopped coming off and then I would stop trying, because I was discouraged and then the vicious cycle would start all over again. I would gain back the lost weight plus some, diet again, get discouraged, stop dieting gain back the weight and so on and so on.
I am excited about the prospect of breaking this cycle!
