Having been on a steady weight climb over the last 15 years, I tried several diets, none worked.  As the weight gained momentum, I tried physical exercise but found out my joints rebelled with pain, the back hurt, discs slipped and started to degenerate.  I had to do something.  A friend of mine called one day and suggested I look into Lapband or Gastric By-pass.  I started researching, discussed this with my Doctor and decided the Lapband would be best for me.  My wife, who is a diabetic and also overweight due to a thyroid problem, also decided to "Team" with me and get the lapband done as well.  We are starting our journey.
