I have been overweight since the birth of my 2 children. They are now 25 and 21 years old. Since their births I have been on every diet imagineable with some success. Success has been shortlived as I always gained the weight back plus more. Now that my kids are grown and gone I realize that I shouldve taken better care of myself and I need to do something about it now. I have high blood pressure and fight depression. I am fatigued most of the time and have no energy. I checked into the lapband 3 years ago, but my insurance would not cover as it was too new of a procedure. This year I checked if they would now cover it and they did.... so I proceeded and have just had surgery on Monday September 14th. I am very excited that I was able to have this done and am looking for an online support group. I totally realize that this is not a quick fix, but a tool to aid in my weight loss.
