My lap-band story is pretty much like everyone's. I have been overweight all my married life (post children). I have diabetes and at the time had hypertension and sleep apnea. I weighed 300 pounds when I first attended the weight loss seminar. Within 4 months I had all my paperwork ready for surgery. I had to wait 3 more months for a surgery date. Everything went really well, my surgeon had to repair 5 hernias he found, but all is well. It has been 2 years now and I have lost 100 pounds. ( I gained 25 more before surgery) My hypertension is gone and so is the sleep apnea. I have 75 more to go, and it's like I have lost moivation. I have good restriction and have been faithful with protien and vitimins, but my mind is not with it anymore.
