I am pretty lucky for being 100 plus pounds overweight I have no side effects now. The only complaint I have is sometimes I am tired and my joints hurt.   My doctor has been telling me to do lap band for the last 2 years sadly my insurance does not cover the cost so I am paying for this on my own.   I have done WW several times I would lose about 40 pounds then gain it back.  I have been overweight all of my adult life but I gained 75 pounds 10 years ago after my gall bladder was removed.  
 I am excited and ready to have my surgery.  I think this tool is going to make me stay committed to a healthy lifestyle and regain my self-confidence.  I am a little nervous I will fail the band or I am making a decision which will impact me worse years later.   
I have a supportive husband and mother.  I have no kids but my pugs are my babies.
