I have always been overwieght for as long as I can remember. Because of my weight I have always been shy and reserved and I really need to know people before I come out of my shell. After years of trying to control my weight with diet (and failling miserably) I had been thinking of the Lap Band surgery for a while. I believe I will be sucessful with the aid to lose my excess weight.I saw my doctor and got a referal, then saw a surgeon and was scheduled for three weeks later.The surgery took place on Monday 22 March and everything went well. I was very lucky and experienced none of the gas sholder pain that so many people seem to have problems with - I am very greatful for this ass I hate pain. So far all is going well and I look forward to continuing the Lap band journey.
