lapband nation let me tell you about myself, im an 49 yrs old male who have been in the work force for 30 yrs. Now im thinking about callin it quits (retiring).. I also have an parttime job for 12yrs, that im planning on keeping. should i retire at an young age,financially im good with my 401k, 457 and some CD that i bought when i was young.NOW my plan is cashing in my cd to pay off my house( 7 yrs left). my 401k is little over six figures, should i let it ride until im 59 or pull it and take an tax hit. my 457 is in the mid five figures range, which im thinking about pulling. Half i want to give to my wife and the rest im planning buying an fix-up, to sell. tell me what you think

begin to see the benefit of the lapband

im back... it have been 54 days since my surgery my start out weight was 345 and as of today my weight is 313.6-314 already had my 1st fill. here's the deal people are like kids and would say the darnest things, does who are jealous would say that im still fat or thats all the weight you lost. and its always the guy who need the surgery, its always the guy who have been going to the gym for years and still look fat also. or its the guy who can eat whatever he want and not gain an pound so to all those people i say fuck you... im loving my band. and already see the benefit. if you are an diabetic like me one of the sign of diabetes is that the lower part of my legs have gotten darker, but now are clear, and one of my grand daugther told me that i don't look pregnant anymore... lol:thumbup:
