I've been thinking about lap band surgery for the last 2 years.  I almost had it about a year ago, but chickened out.  I now have type 2 diabetes and am on the maximum dose of oral medication and I do not want to start injecting insulin.  I cannot stick to a diet and exercise program for more than 1-2 weeks.  If I don't have this surgery, I will not lose the extra 100 pounds that I've been lugging around for the last 10 years.  I'm going to be a grandma in October and want to have the energy to enjoy my grandson and be around for a long time.  I have no idea what to expect after the surgery and I hope to hear some real life experiences on this website.
