Mine is probably the same story as many of the people having lapband surgery or considering it. I've been overweight for almost all of my adult life. I've tried every diet program available and some that I made up on my own. In the past 10-15 years my health has gotten worse, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, arthritis in both knees.....I don't feel like lapband is a last resort, but a tool to keep me on track. I have a 2-1/2 year old grandson and it scares me that I might not get to see him grow up if I don't do something now. I am still in the pre-op stages, with just 10 more pounds to lose before I can schedule surgery! I'm very excited for this journey to really begin!
