I had tried every diet imaginable and nothing worked long term. After going through "the change" weight was harder than ever to lose. I had polio as a child and carrying over a hundred pounds of excess weight was really starting to take a toll on my feet and legs. I have already had multipal surgeries on my foot and ankle to correct polio damage. I finally decided Lap-Band would be the tool I needed to help me lose my desired weight. I have had good results so far. After a lifetime of fighting being overweight I am hopeful I have found the answer. Rheda
