I am currently researching my decision to get a lap-band. I presently have asthma, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. My doctor suggested that I consider a weight loss procedure last year and I was not ready to consider it because I thought that I could lose weight on my own. But due to certain conditions in my life, I have realized that I need the help and limitations that wls would offer me. I realized that I own it to my family to take care of my health if I want to continue to be around to care for them. I have a teenage daughter and my mother is in the early stages of dementia and lives with us. I need to be healthy to continue to do what I do. I have decided that the lapband is procedure that I feel most comfortable with. I am hopeful that I will be able to get it as I have a lot of allergies as well as my other health issues. I will be attending a seminar on it tomorrow and can't wait!
