<p>My name is Rosario, I am 35 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was such an active child,&nbsp;I would play all sports, ride my bike and skate.&nbsp; At the age of 13, when i had my first&nbsp;seizure.&nbsp; After&nbsp;countless of blood test and&nbsp;other studies&nbsp;I was diagnosed with Epilepcy.&nbsp;The seizures continued about 1 or 2 seizures a week.&nbsp; The doctors would switch my meds every week, and all i did was eat eat eat and sleep sleep sleep oh and seizure 1 or 2 a week.&nbsp; At 14 my seizures .&nbsp; Thank God for my neurologist &lt;3&nbsp; but i was still kept gaining weight.&nbsp; Anyway I'm on medication for life and have been free of seizure for 12 yrs now.&nbsp; I've tried all kinds of diets, Herbalife, Omeopathic pills and drops, Wight Watchers, pills and more pills, includint going to the gym, and zip, zero loss.&nbsp; So one day my sister told me what did I think of the LapBand.&nbsp; I was like, I dont know.&nbsp; I dont beleive in that.&nbsp; She told me about her co-workers having the band and that it was working.&nbsp; So I did my research, the next thing I made an appointment with my PCP and told him I was thinking of getting banded.&nbsp; So now I'm still in process.&nbsp; Feb. 9, I have the Upper GI, wish me luck.&nbsp; I'll keep you posted on my journey!!!!!</p>
