I am a 38 year old mother of 3 boys, my oldest is 19, then I have a 9 year old and then my last one is 5 months old.  I have been pretty accepting of my weight until my knees started to get really bad, then my back started hurting and no a days it is more difficult for me to just get out of bed.  Then I look at my 9 year old and see how active he is and think back to how he was when he was 1 and 2 years old.  I was younger then, but now.....that's not the case.  I realized that by the time my baby is 1 and 2 years old, I might not be able to even get out of bed with my bad knees and back.....so I have made a final decision to get the lap band surgery.  I am going all my leg work and getting all my research done ahead of time, I don't want to jump in with my eyes shut.  I love to eat and love to cook and I know getting the lab band will affect my life entirely.....but I feel at this point I have tried all the diets, and all the pills and even paid to do Weight Watchers, but nothing worked.....now it's time I do something serious if I want to be around for my kids.....now is the time!
