Obesity runs in my family. My mother was once 300 & my sister is now 300. Everyone in my family is "thick". I have done every over the counter diet possible i even tried Phen Phen. It was the only thing that really worked but wouldn't you know it is deadly. I have yoyo dieted since Jr High School. I gave birth to my son at age 24 and have lost & gained every year since. Nothing seems to work for long term. I have dieted & exercised but always plateau. I was considering Lipo, but once i looked into this I prefer the idea of the lap Band because after paying all that money to get the fat sucked out, it can come back years later. With this, you can have your band adjusted accordingto your weight loss. And, it is permanent (unless you have it removed). I would love to lose 50 pounds, I would be happy losing 40 and I would be ok with losing 30. So far i researched a lot. I spoke to 2 different locations (Dr. Carlos Alessandrini, General Director of Bajanor Obesity Center & Sandy Lauriawith WorldMed Assist.) Both appear to have everything I am looking for and am ready to do it. The only difference between the 2 to me is the price. Any feed back would be appreciated!
