Hi, I guess I will start with I am married 26 yrs and I have three beautiful daughters. 25 yrs, 23 yrs and soon to be 20 yr old girls. I am 50 yrs old and have been heavy for like 20 something years. I had a Hysterectomy like when I was 39 yrs old and I swear as time went on I got bigger and more unhealthy. I am up to 224 lbs from 133 lbs. The high blood pressure, my lower back, knees, headaches, etc I could go on. Walking upstairs and being out of breathe. Trying on clothes and getting that feeling and that look, like you just hate this. Weight Watchers over and over again, which I did lose some weight. Good program, the only thing I find with weight watchers is that with that program you are always and I mean always thinking of food. You always have to figure what your going to eat all the time. So my doctor told me to look into the Lapabnd and I did. That was like two months ago. I have been approved and my surgery is on the 5th of August. I am so happy and I feel like this is such a begining for me. I just can't wait.

Good luck to you my surgery is Aug.5 also. We are on our way to sexy babes! LOL
