I am a 38 year old wife and mother of 3, and RN who has been overweight most of my life.  I finally decided to have gastric banding done becase I realize that I need more than willpower to get this weight off. Taking care of patients my age and weight after heart attacks was another deciding factor. My best friend had the surgery 1.5 years ago, and has had great results and no adverse effects.  After doing a bit of on-line research of others who had done it, and the physicians at my facility, talking it over with my husband, and lots of prayer, here I am ---  ready to get on the Band wagon!
