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!
