Prometheus

I am 40 years old and have always struggled with my weight causing back issues and water retention.  I found out over the last year or so that I have serious thyroid issues that are finally under control, however I am still having problems dropping the weight.  My family doctor suggested bariatric surgery to help me in my process and I guided the conversation more towards Lapband.  I have a friend that has had it and had great success.  I am scheduled for my first consultation next Friday and in the meantime I am trying to research information and educate myself as much as possible.
