I had seen the commercials for the realize band on television. My son was diagnosed with Cerebral palsy. My diabetes was becoming hard to control. It was time to get healthy for my kids, and me. So I called the telephone number for the local bariatric program, and started the ball rolling. I called in April 2008, weighing that day at 270. That was to much. So I went thru the steps (all those tests) and had my band (a allergan lapband) placed 9-16-08 at 242 pounds.
