Hi. I've been reading all the posts on this site for the past few days and am feeling absolutely inspired. I'm considering getting the lap band now that I have reached a personal high in my weight. I don't need to tell you all that I've been through cause it's the same story as many of you have. I've always fought this battle and this year I believed I was making some big changes but instead gained 30 lbs! I work out constantly, eat normally, but I've always struggled and now after having my son at 40, I just can't do this anymore. I try so hard for nothing! I just can't let this weight creep up any farther. I'm my pregnancy weight at 9 mo. ! 200 lbs. that was such a shocker for me so I asked my doc if the lap band was an option. I know it's not as much as some but I'm so tired of this weight . You know how I feel. By the time I'm 50 maybe I'll be 250 and so on... I haven't brought this up to my husband yet but I'm so excited about this option from all your stories. So my BMI is 32 and I'm guessing I should lose about 50 at least. I just want to like myself again... Thanks for any thoughts....
