I was one of those people who used to be "skinny" when I was younger.  Never had to worry about what I ate at all.  Then I had children and the weight started coming on.  I could lose a few pounds here and there, but it would not be long before it came back with some extra pounds.  Before I knew it I was 250lbs.  This was unacceptable to me.  I was miserable.  I was depressed and would just stay at home and keep eating.  I felt horrible all of the time.  Then I learned that insurance had started covering the lapband procedure.  I went to a local physician's seminar and then made an appointment.  That was October of 2007.  I had my surgery on May 6, 2008.  I have lost over 85lbs (as of 7/20/2009) and I haven't felt this good in a very long time.  It took me a few months to learn my band, but it hasn't been bad at all.  I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
