After a lot of thought, and every diet i can think of. I finally decided to try Lap band. I had a heart attack and subsequent heart surgery in May 2007, not due to being seriously overweight but a tumor on my heart. My weight skyrocketed after that. I find myself not even wanting to look at pictures of myself. My surgery is tommorow August 2 and i am very nervous.
