I've been overweight most of my life- then lost a lot of weight thru the starvation diet in high school. Kept it off until I got married and had 2 kids, then divorced lost some, then married again and 2 more kids until I reached a high weight of 290. Ugh. Considered lapband surgery, DH not supportive. Then a few more years passed and he had seen a couple successful lapbanders at work and brought it up to me. Did my 6 months supervised diet, approved within a couple days, banded on 1/26/12 and have lost 44 lbs so far (it's 5/1/12 as I write this).
