I was always thin until my late 20's when I gradually started gaining weight.  In my 30's I had my 2 daughters and gained even more weight.  With a stressful marriage and the death of my father I bounded up and couldn't get the weight back off.  For a few years now I have wanted to have lap band surgery, but didn't have the patience to wait 1 year to be approved.  When we lost my husbands insurance and had to switch to mine, I checked into lap band surgery and found that the insurance had just switched to a 3 month wait.  I quickly made an appointment with my physician and started the process.  I had lost about 8 lbs pre liquid diet and about another 10 with the liquid diet.  I am now down a total of 26 pounds, 8 days post op.  I'm so very happy.  I can't wait til I can start exercising. It's now 2/20 & I'm down 33 lbs total and having to wear 2 sizes smaller.  I now am at 5.5cc fill in my 10cc band and have been allowed to start exercising.  Yeah!!!!
