Hi. I am a divorced mum of four who let her weight creep up until I felt it was out of control and I was out of control. I have tried every diet and product around and although I had found success at times, I did not have the drive to make the changes life long, and so the weight came back on. I usually ended up heavier than when I started the diet. In 2008 I asked my best friend to consider the lap-banding proceedure and in 2009 we had our operations together, on the same day, shared the same room and have been able to share our experiences since. I would like to listen and talk to others who have had a life long struggle with weight and who have had or are thinking about having this proceedure.
