My name is Lollie and I was diagnosed with MS in 1995. I am getting banded (hopefully) next month. My neuro doc is happy for me to get the surgery. Lugging around an extra 100 lbs is hurting my body. Just had knee surgery, have high blood pressure, high colesteral, and have sleep apnea. I am 51 and want my next 30 or so years to be healthy ones.
