I have been overweight my entire life.  Always "chubby".  But never obese until I got into my 20's.  Finally, after having diabetes, not being able to even walk 1 block, and my muscular dystrophy getting worse, I decided to do the lapband.  Went to my surgeon for the first time May 2008, had the surgery September, 2008.  If I had to do it all over again, I would, even though I almost died on the table because of my Muscular Dystrophy and the fact that the anesthesiologist was an ass!  But my surgery itself went perfect! I lost 40 pounds, but have gained 5 back.  i am now wanting to get back on track and finish this journey.
