As most of us "Banders" I have struggled with my weight all my life. Lose weight and regain what I lost plus some extra weight. I got to my highest weight (276#) and could not believe it. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and all the other illnesses that go along with being over weight. I spend a great deal of money on my meds I have to take two times a day. I am hoping that this will make a big change in my health. My husband and daughter have been very supportive. My doctor, Steve Patching is great, He is very supportive and wants to help me any way he can. I am very fortunate to have so many people in my corner.
