I should have done this first. I am new to this sight. My name is ladyshaw and I am 40 yrs.old. I have been married to my husband for 19 years. We have 3 children ,the youngest is 5 . The other two are two are 22 and 19. I decided to do weight loss surgery for several reasons. The most important reason being my health and the horrible obesity genes in my family. I am afraid of reaching the point of no return. I have an avid physical activity life and I am conscious of what and how much I eat. But I am still afraid of failing with the lapband. I just really need this too work in my life. I know with Jesus all things are possible . Any suggestions pros or cons? I schedule my surgery today hopefully
