Hi, I am a 42 year old single mom of three wonderful children that has spent the last 18 years taking care of them and everyone around me but never myself. In the last 5 to 7 years I have gained so much weight that I hated myself. I didn't go to the pool in the summer or wear shorts. It was easier to just send the kids with friends and stay at home and eat.

It was not until last August when I best friend told me about the lap band. She knew of someone who had it and lost alot of weight and looks great. I started researching it thru the web, went to a seminiar and asked my Doctor what he thought of the surgery. He was very happy that I was looking into it and advised that he would approve me for the surgery if I chose to go for it.

After researching and calling my heatlhcare insurance company, I decided to go for it. I found a wonderful Doctor thru my regualar Doctor and made my first appointment. He was convienced that I was a good canidate for the surgery and that I would feel so much better both inside and out afterward.

On February 2, 2011, I had the surgery and just after one month after I have lost 21.5 lbs. I feel great and am now heading in the right direction finally.

My next step is to get the fills and learn better eating habits once on solid foods. At this point I am still hungry at night and need to learn to handle my nights without eating. Boy what a challenge that it!!!!!

I would love any help anyone could give me on night time hunger and especially the fills.

Thanks and God Bless
