An Example For My Family

Along with the health issues I had and wanting to look better, I also had the surgery as an example to by daughter. She is 22 years old and seriously overweight. I am worried about her future and her health. Since I was banded, I cook healthier foods (some even lap band recipes), that my family enjoys. I do not purchase sodas or any other "bad" foods. Everyone can eat what I prepare, or go out for anything else they wish to eat. One great thing about the surgery is I am rarely hungry. If I have a taste for something that is not "good", I taste it and move on. I don't think my daughter will have the surgery, but now I don't think she'll need to. Both she and my husband are exercising and making much better food choices. Our entire family is healthier and looking better, and for that, I am truly grateful.
