Just an introduction, my name is Karen and I am working mom of 3, a 10 year old, 5 year old, and a 2 year old. After struggling with my weight since 2000 and trying every diet under the sun, and taking the hard core diet prescriptions pills I decided that LapBand would be the right choice for me. I am going to my 1st Dr. appointment next week in Springfield MO, I am very excited and very hopeful, now just to kick this starbucks addiction !
