My name is James.  I have been struggling with hypothyroidism for about 6-7 years.  I would try diet after diet and have little success.   I looked into lapband surgery only because I didnt want this to get way out of control.   I was diagnosed as having morbid obesity and that was my push.   My friends kept saying you are fine the way you are.   I could deal with that but I was more concerned about being in the high risk arena for heart attack or stroke.   I had my Lapband surgery on 8-19-2010.   My journey begins.    I started in May of this year and did everything in the pre Lapband visit and classes and it went by quickly.   I am not one to follow process very good so this was a challenge.   I did it and they "fast forwarded" me to the head of the class and I am post surgical now!
