<p>My name is Rosario, I am 35 years old. I was such an active child, I would play all sports, ride my bike and skate. At the age of 13, when i had my first seizure. After countless of blood test and other studies I was diagnosed with Epilepcy. The seizures continued about 1 or 2 seizures a week. The doctors would switch my meds every week, and all i did was eat eat eat and sleep sleep sleep oh and seizure 1 or 2 a week. At 14 my seizures . Thank God for my neurologist <3 but i was still kept gaining weight. Anyway I'm on medication for life and have been free of seizure for 12 yrs now. I've tried all kinds of diets, Herbalife, Omeopathic pills and drops, Wight Watchers, pills and more pills, includint going to the gym, and zip, zero loss. So one day my sister told me what did I think of the LapBand. I was like, I dont know. I dont beleive in that. She told me about her co-workers having the band and that it was working. So I did my research, the next thing I made an appointment with my PCP and told him I was thinking of getting banded. So now I'm still in process. Feb. 9, I have the Upper GI, wish me luck. I'll keep you posted on my journey!!!!!</p>
