I am a Type 1 Diabetic of 25 years and am seriously considering lap-band procedure. I have been disciplined and have tried my best and still continue to gain. I have gained approximately 75 pounds over the past 10 years an cannot lose an ounce. Currently I am approximately 85 pounds overweight and feel I am entering a dangerous point and this is a life or death issue with me right now. It's no longer just a vanity issue. Anyone??
