AppleBand

I turned 40 years old this year. I have been going through the HMO insurance hoops since September 2010. After 6 months of dietician guided nutrition classes and a psych evaluation, I finally have my approval to see the surgeon. My goals for a Lap Band include, minimizing or eliminating my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis pain in my knees and sleeping better. I have been a Type I Diabetic since I was 11 years old and although the Diabetes is here to stay, the other factors that could shorten my life can be helped with weight loss. I gained weight after I had my second child. I swear my metabolism changed completely after he was born. I just want the second half of my life to look and feel healthier!!!
