I was slightly heavy as a child and teenager. I had a child in 1995, accepted a sedentary job in 1999 and it has been downhill from there. I had no time to work out and did not eat healthy. I gained so much weight that I am starting to develop health problems and now need assistance to loose the weight and correct the health problems. I opted for the lap band because my goals are to loose the weight, change my lifestyle, maintain the weight loss, and eventually get the band taken off. The lap band also has less absorption issues to deal with. I am so excited as I have wanted to do this for years and recently got my insurance to pay for the procedure. My surgery date is 05/24/2007. I just started my liquid diet yesterday, 05/10/2007. So far, so good!
