I have struggled with weight all my life. It wasn't until recently when I became very ill that I realized that something had to be done. My doctor suggested Lap Band. So, I am a newbie. I am just starting the process of getting approval. This surgery could literally save my life. I have to either get my diabetes under control or I take the risk of more damage being done to my pancreas (I have chronic pancreatits from ERCP). I have 10 year old twin boys and I dream of watching them grow up, get married, and have kids. If I don't change something I might not make it to see those things. I am only 31 years old and have high choelestrol, high triglycerides, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. I take over 10 medications and 4 injections a day. I don't know if Lap Band is my solution, but I am grateful to have a site like this to visit and learn more to see if it is.
