I've struggled with my weight for almost 30 years.  I guess I've always had body image problems.  My family always made a big deal of weight and food and I always thought I was too fat, even when I was normal weight.  I've gained nearly a hundred pounds over the the course of 20 years.  The last 15 years I've had knee problems(torn ACL) and 2 surgeries, yoyo dieting and atrocious eating habits (night eating).  Now, with a a diagnosis of diabetes type 2 I know I have to lose this weight. No more procrastination.  The lapband program seems like a good tool to make weight loss a reality.  I am at the beginning of a journey to better health.
