I have always struggled with my weight, but it became really hard after college and childbirth. I have lost over 100lbs twice in my life, but it always seems to come back. I have tried Weight Watchers, TOPS, hypnopsis, acupuncture, and liquid diets. Now that I am 53 and the arthritis is so bad, I knew I had to do something. After much research and reading, I opted for the lap-band surgery. I am only two days post-surgery, but things are going okay so far. I am very nervous about eating, but hopefully it will be okay! I am determined to make this work for me! I have so much to live for!
