Like many of you, I too have struggled with my weight over the years. I have lost and gained too many pounds to count. i have tried so many different diets, and have been successful but only for a short while. I would exercise and eat right and the weight would come off, but then I would come to a standstill with my weight and get very frustrated and stop eating right and exercising. I am hopeful that the lapband will be the tool I need to help me be successful with my weight loss goals!
