I am 30 years old and I have a strong family history of diabetes and heart disease.  I have thought about lap band for several years.  This past summer I turned 30 and was around a lot of my family at get togethers and realized that I didn't want to join them in the discussions of insulin and joint/body aches and pains.  I am married to a very active husband and have two wonderful children (4 year old son and 2 year old daughter) that I want to enjoy to the fullest.  I want them to only remember me healthy and strong.  My goal is to make them not have to struggle with their weight by teaching them the proper way to eat and excercise.
