I'm a mommy of two children, my son is 14 and my daughter is 12.  I have struggled with being overweight my entire life.  I have yo-yo'd till I cant yo-yo no more!  Been on every diet out there and was doing Weight Watchers up until my surgery date.  I always seem to loose up to 20lbs when i do diet, but it always comes back.  I am active! I used to run, bike, rollerblade, hike, all of that.  On New Years Eve this past year "2010" I was in Las Vegas for the party of the year.  Well I the middle of it all I fell right on Las Vegas Blvd and dislocated and tore my tendons in my left ankle.  I went through months and months of pain and only until September of this year was I able to bear constant weight on it.  so needless to say, I was not active this entire year.  So the weight crept up again as usual.  My doctor finally gave the the "ok" after 5 years of begging for this lapband.  She never thought I needed it, but finally allowed me to do it after this horrible year.  So here I am!  At this point I had surgery on Dec 12, 2011 and have already lost 8lbs.  Sahweeeet!  So far I love this little device and I'm looking forward to a thinner healthier me!
