Hello! i've been heavy most of my life. At age 8, I began gaining weight like crazy. Since then, i have been on a roller coaster. Lose a bunch, gain it all back plus some. i've tried just about anything you can think of to lose weight. I LOVE food! I eat when i'm happy, sad, depressed, etc. I had the lap-band in June 09 and have lost 70 lbs so far. still have a long way to go. i am interested in talking to others to see if some of my concerns/happenings are normal. What ideas they have for recipes, exercise, how to deal with the upset stomach and pain  that comes and goes (if anyone else has this problem) and constipation, etc. i don't know anyone else personally who has had this surgery so i feel very alone in my experience. Would love to hear all stories:) Steph
