Hi, I'm just starting out on my FINAL weight loss venture.  I have lost and gained 100 lbs three times in the last 21 years.  My body's age and willingness to do it one more time is not in my favor.  I know I can lose the weight, but it's the long term health and fitness that I need to concentrate on.  I have been recently diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and joint pain due to obesity.  I have been researching the best long term options and lap band is the one I have chosen.  I live with my 21 year old son, my 87 year old (alzheimer) mom and my husband.  I am a nurturer by nature and seem to alway put aside nurturing myself.  Now's my time as 50 nears.  I want a healthy and happy lifestyle for my "golden" years.
