Thank you all for your input. I am looking forward to speaking with a surgeon this weekend and just getting more info. Thank you B52, I do realize that I'm going to need to make a lot of changes as far as food and stop eating "everything I want" since that's what got me here in the first place.

Hello everyone, my name is Hilda and I've just decided to begin this journey. I am attending a seminar this weekend and maybe setting an appointment with a Surgeon, I don't have a doctor yet. I have been overweight since middle school and hit 200 in high school. I graduated high school 5.5 years ago and have gained over 50 pounds since!!! I've tried working out and eating right, but after months with no losses I give up and gain all of the weight back. I am hopeful that with the Lap Band Surgery, my serious efforts to lose weight can be more effective! I live in the San Fernando Valley and if there is anybody out there in my situation, I would love to hear from you so we can share our experiences and journey together.
