I'm Paula and I have been overweight most of my life. I am 35 now and have been battling my weight for 30 yrs. I finally decided to get lap band surgery this year because after more than 3 yrs of thinking about trying to lose weight on my own, I got plagued by health issues. I developed back problems that only helped me gain weight. I am now also pre-diabetic. I finally took the plunge and I am happy I have decided to start this new phase in my life.
