Hi, My name is Mari and I'm actually un banded. I'm here looking to find out more information. To tell u a little about my weight history, I'm actually at my highest of 215 right now but have always been overweight. At this time in my life where I ma trying to find myself, I really don't want to have to be depressed about my yo yo ing weight. I rather focus on finishing school, finding a career and finding love and eventually starting a family. I've tried several programs, and am a regular gym goer but do have a problem with my food intake. lol. I'm hoping that lapband will be a way fro me to become a healthier, happier person and keep me from acquiring the many health problems that my parents have. Talking to some of you guys have already gotten me excited about the whole thing.
