In Sept 2007 I was approved and ready to have my lap band surgery - unfortunately about a month before my surgery was scheduled, I ended up getting a severe pyelonephritis (very bad kidney infection) followed by an appendectomy a week later. I spent several weeks in the hospital and of course due to the severity of my infections they couldn't do my Lap Band. I ended up losing the weight myself (over 150 lbs!!) on weight watchers. I managed to keep it for for about 2 years. After the passing of my mother, I gained most of the weight back. In th  the last 11 months I have gained about 3/4 of the weight back... again. 
I am very tired of being on this roller coaster. I would like to take off the weight and KEEP IT OFF. I have severe back problems that have disabled me (am on Social Security now).
