07/31/2008 - Today is my fifty seventh birthday and on 08/01/2008 is my surgery date and if all goes well I will start my journey with my lap band. I looking forward to it with a little fear, but I declared that it is my time, I can't go on like this. After 47 years of being on a diet of yoyos experience - I want it all to stop and have a tool in place that can really change me. I have been diagnosed with diabetic symptoms that I need to get under control. I was put on high blood pressure meds and two different diabetes meds and they are not really working for me. My doctor says to loose weight and I have tried - really tried, successful for a time and then bam - I gotta eat and I really mean eat. And the first thing you know all the weight that I lost is back on and it brings friends (extra pounds) with it. So in my mind I said it is time to break the cycle and about a year ago started the process to get the lap band.
That brings you up to this point.
