I decided to have Lapband last year (2008) after I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with BC. A person who is over weight has a higher risk. After treatment whick inlcuded chemotherapy and radiation therapy, I decided to have Lapband to help me lose wieght and see some results. I have tried other weightloss methods.....over and over again. It seems that I would work really hard to stick to a diet or exercise program, but not see any progress. I would get discouraged and give up. Lapband had been different. I see the results and that encourages me to keep working harder!!
