I went to a Lapband seminar in August of 2009.  I did my research and decided this is what I wanted to do in order to live a healthier, longer life with my husband and 2 small children.  I had to go through 3 months of nurtritional counseling, and also see a psychiatrist.  I finished all the requirements and I was referred to Dr. Manuele for a consultation.  My surgery was scheduled for March 23rd.I had tried every diet, pill, exercise, and even hypnosis in order to lose weight.  Nothing ever worked and I always gained the weight back plus some!  I was tired of being tired.  I felt ugly, out of breath all the time, and I just didn't feel like doing anything or going anywhere.  I didn't like my husband to touch me in any way because I just felt unattractive, even though he told me he loved me all the time.  I just didn't like myself and I didn't like what I saw in the mirror everyday.It is now almost 2 months after my surgery, and I feel great.  I have lost 21 pounds so far and I have lots of energy.  I am so grateful that I decided to do this.  No regrets!
