I have been fighting my weight since I was about 40 years old. Like many others I have tried many many diets to help me lose weight but always seem to gain the weight that was lost shortly after going back to my old eating habits. (Old habits are hard to change) My health was deteriorating as my weight increased.ie type 11 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholosterol and sleep apnea. Finally I decided that lap band surgery was my "last" chance at getting my weight under control. At the time of my lapband surgery my weight was 308 pounds and now 18 months following surgery my weight is 245 pounds. Many of my medications have been either reduced or completely eliminated.
