I have been fighting the Battle of the Bulge for almost 14 years.  I have tried almost everything.  Weight Watchers, Herbalife, Nutrisystem and Phentermine.  Hiring personal trainers and working out six times a week.  I've even used less healthy methods out of desperation, to include laxatives and fasting, which only made me sick.  None of this worked, as I was separated from the Air Force for failure to meet weight standards.  Since my release from the military, I have gained 75 pounds in seven years.  I am in constant pain.  I frequently miss work due to severe back pain and appointments with my chiropractor, physical therapist, or some other medical provider.  I also have sleep apnea and have a high risk of getting Type II diabetes since it runs on my father's side of the family.  I want to regain control of my life and I think that the Lap Band will help me do that.
