Hi,
Well, I have been looking at this web site for several days, reading what eveyone has to say about the Lap band. I am 48 years old, and I am tired of being fat. I am a very happy person normaly, I love the Lord, love my family, friends and life. I have tried every diet out there. In 2003 I was at the weight of 314 and in tears when I joined Weight Watchers. I lost weight every week from June to December of 2003. My total weight lost was 67 lbs. I felt so good, but knew I still had a long way to go. One week after Christmas I let my guard down and gained 8 lbs in one week. There I lost my momentum. Then slowly over the years I have gained it back. I am now 300 again. I am very healthy, have no health problems, other than I am very over weight. I am not afraid of working out, It really makes me fill good and my joints are stiff. I have been trying to decide if this would be right for me. I am afraid if I do this, will I fail at this too. Some of the comments that I read scare me a bit. My husband doen't want me to have it done. He love me for me and thinks that I can do it on my own. I have never had a weight problem, until I had kids. I have been fighting my weight for 26 years. Please help with any suggestion that will help me make up my mind. :thumbup:
