My story actually started August 25, 2004 when I opted for the lap band surgery. This came about after my husband had the gastric bypass (RNY) in April of 2003. I started at 285 pounds and got down to 193 (for a fleeting moment). I had high blood pressure, diabetes and was on a c-pap machine. I am now free of the c-pap and all meds! I have gained some back because of a strong addiction to sugar that I am having trouble kicking. The surgery is ONLY a tool !! The head drives this addiction and so it remains an ongoing struggle.
