After many years of weight loss and gain I decided to get lapband.  My research found a doctor who had the lapband done himself and I felt that if he had the surgery then he can relate.  So I went to see him and made the decision to go forward.  I have been overweight most of my life.  At my heaviest I was 270 pounds, that was in 2002, then I joined w8t w.......$ and lost 80 pounds.  By the end of 2008 I had gained the majority of the weight back and was so uncomfortable and ultimately developed obstructive sleep apnea.  I did have a family history of high cholesterol but when I received the latest results of a cholesterol test, the results really scared me, I thought I was on the verge of a heart attack.  I also other issues such as arthritis in the hips and low back but the things that really scared me where the outrageous cholesterol and sleep apnea.  Hello, talk about a wake up call?  On Januay 12, 2010 I was banded and look forward to a happy, healthy, energetic life.
