I am 43 years old, wife and mother to three kids. Two girls and a boy 20, 18 & 14. All still at home so there is never a dull moment in our house. I have battled with a weight problem most of my life. At times I would be able to lose weight but I would always gain it back and usually some extra. I probably would've have checked into the lapband had it not be for the advise of my primary care physician. She suggested that I check on it because of my diabetes which has gotten progressively worse over the past two years. I checked with my insurance company first to see if they covered it and went from there. I went to a lapband seminar in late Feburary and by May I had received insurance approval, gone through all of the required pre-op classes and evaluations and on May 9th had my surgery. I am very excited to begin this journey to a healthier life.
