I'm just getting started on this adventure of doing the LapBand.  I have always been overweight, with my highest being 350lbs about 10 years ago.  I currently weigh 309lbs.  I'm under 40 years old, barely. I'm a type 2 Diabetic, and have recently been put onto Insulin.  I do not like being a pincushion whatsoever.  I have dieted all my life, and never been real successful, unfortunately, with the diabetes medicine that I take, weight loss is not easy.  I am married to a man who is 30 years my senior, so therefore, I have grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren that I want to be around for in the future.  At the rate that I'm going now, that won't be possible.  I want to be able to take care of them, not vice versa.
