I have struggled with weight issues since my early 20's. Life was fast paced and fast food was an easy out! The pounds slowly kept creeping up. I have had success with weight loss through Weight Watchers. I could take the weight off but my problem is keeping it off. I have been on cholesterol medicine for 3 years now and over the last year my blood pressure had started increasing, I knew it was time to do something so that I am around for my kids ages 11 & 6. A friend and I have decided to take the lapband journey together which I think will be great support for both of us. After consulting with the surgeon, dietician, psychologist and coordinator all in one day I was definately overwhelmed but knew I was ready. I was approved by my insurance very quickly and the surgery was scheduled 3 weeks later! My life is about to change and I am so ready for this change!
