I have been over weight most of my adult life.  Before having children, I could exercise and diet and lose weight.  I was never skinny, but I wasn't obese.  After having children, working and the stress of all of this, I just kept putting on more and more weight.  I would yo-yo diet and then I lost the ambition to try again.  After getting to a weight I never thought I would, I went for a consultation and decided to get the lap band.  I have lost about 40 pounds in 7 months and hope to keep losing.  I feel much healthier and my clothes are no longer tight. It is a great feeling to put on clothes that fit!
