With 3 children and a very stressful marriage, I gained a lot of weight.  With that weight gain came sleep apnea, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.  I finally decided that I was about as miserable as I could get and it was time for a change.  I divorced my horrible "room mate" of a husband and as the stress melted off, so did some of the excess weight, about 40 lbs in  18 months.  I found a new love and decided that I wanted to make sure I could get to my goal and stay there.  After seeing the Lap Band commercial on TV so many times, I wanted it for myself.  I want it to be a healthier person for myself, my kids, and my boyfriend.
