Hi,
I have been struggling all my life time also........ I was determined since I made the personal mission to take control of my life again. The lap band is a tool........and helps me to have much greater positive moments for me. I was band 9/11/08 and is a great relief to do and work with the Dr. and dietican seeing my dicission was so right. It is a tool of this generation......
I have friends this has helped . Go to an info meeting and listen to the ones who have had it done. You will smile for sure when leaving a meet. Good luck. Mary
