I'm not one of those people who has been heavy all my life. I gained weight after meeting my husband. Don't get me wrong, I was never twiggy. I always had an extra 10 pounds on me. While dating, we just enjoyed going out to dinner, having a few drinks. Eating in, watching movies. After being married for 5 years, we found out we were having trouble conceiving. After several years of fertility treatment and two beautiful children, the emotional rollercoaster had taken it's toll. I could not seem to lose the weight gained for each pregnancy. The older I got, the harder it seemed to lose weight. Add an under active thyroid into the mix and I ended up about 100 pounds over weight. I don't know how it happened, but it did. I found myself with high blood pressure and a basic bleak outlook for seeing my kids into their teen years unless I did something drastic. I tried weight watchers, optifast, medifast, zone, adkins and my own diets. I would lose 30 pounds or so each time and ultimately gain it back. I needed a long term solution, something I could live with. Lap Band seemed to be the answer...... Let's hope so!!!!
