Hello,

My name is Jane and I live in Chesapeake, VA. I have struggled with weight all my life. The lowest i've ever been was 154 pounds in 1984. I have put on tremendous weight over the past 24 years and i'm at 265 pounds, and only 5 foot 5. I have blood pressure meds i am on, i'm on insulin, type 2, and have osteoarthritis, so i have joint pain daily. I have struggled with whether i am a lap band or gastric bypass candidate. I finally decided i'm tired of being tired and not healthy. I have gone to the first seminar for bariatric surgery and have learned about both types of surgery. I am leaning toward lap band as i would like to have it not be so drastic and life altering as gastric surgery. I also don't like the malabsorption thing with bypass. I know this will be life altering, but at age 54 this December, I know that it's high time to take back my life. Can you call me some time on my cell phone as a lap band mentor? I will wait to hear back from you first by email. I hope to hear from you. You're profile is an inspiration to me. Thanks so much,

Jane
