I had fought my weight for the last 20 years and had been on every diet known to man. I always lost weight but always gained it back. I knew my future was dim health wise. I was out of control. I researched options and found Lap Band Talk. I lurked for several months before deciding to move forward and contact my surgeon. After initial contact things moved quickly. I had a low BMI compared to a lot of people. I knew I would be self-pay because of that reason. But I knew what my future looked like, diabetes, knee replacements and high blood pressure etc. I knew I had to move forward. It was worth the effort and I have no regrets.
