I just turned 37 years old.  I started gaining weight when I went off to college.  Before then I played sports in middle and high school and was very slim.  I have been struggling since college.  I have tried many diets, pills, exercise clubs...you name it, I've tried it.  My mother was actually the one who started talking about the Lapband.  I started researching it and after reading the good and bad, I believe that this is the best option for me.  I understand that this is a tool and know that I have to put in the work as well.  I have finally come to a point in my life that I am ready to work on my weight and do something about it FOR ME!  My mother and husband are my biggest supporters.  My husband tells me all the time that I am sexy and look good to him but this is about how I feel about myself and what I want to do going forward.  I have struggled with infertility and after adopting and finally having a pregnancy result in a full-term birth, I want to do what I can to be there for my children.  I hate that when we go to the park or play together, I am out of breath and can't keep up with them.  I want to teach them through my example about eating right and taking care of your body.  I have thought about this long and hard.  This is not a quick-fix for me anymore.  I want a lifetime result.
