I've never been a small person. i remember my weight being something I was ashamed of when I was around 9 years old. I was the biggest of all my family, my age. I'm looking into the lap band surgery because the older I get the harder it is to be healthy. I now have sleeping, blood pressure and cholesterol problems as well as PCOS, thyroid and B-12 deficiency. I'm 34 and on 8 prescribed medicines. Recently my knees started hurting and I can't clean my house with have chronic pain in my back and sides. i don't think losing weight will help all my ailments, but I'm praying it will help with some and give me the kick start to a healthier life. I have an appt next week to get referred to a lap band surgeon to see if this is an option for me and will help with my health issues.
