I'm a 34 year old woman who struggled with my weight most of my life, but now that I look back on it I was never overweight I just wasn't a size 2 but a size 9. Well after I had my son I gained alot of weight and tired EVERYTHING, the diet pills, counting points, and weight lose centers. So nine years and 100 pounds later I decided to make a life change and that's when I started looking at my options and researching the pros and cons of the lap band and gastric bypass. in the end I chose the lap band because it was a better fit for me and my life style and the overall goal of what I was trying to accomplish. Thank goodness my family has been very supportive through the entire process. My boyfriend finally jumped on board because at first he wasn't being supportive he would tell me I looked great(which I did!!! self esteem wasn't my issue just that big ole butt!!! lol) I guess he finally realized this would make me happy so he got on board.. It's only been a week since my surgery and I can tell the difference.
