I am 39 years old and I have been over weight since my teens.  I have literally tried everything and each time I have lost weight to eventually gain it all back plus some.  I have been married for 16 years and had 2 daughters right away.  Kelsea is 15 and Sandra is 13.  We opted to have Kevin get a vasectomy after Sandra.  Almost 10 years to the day I found out I was pregnant.  In Nov 2006 we had our 3rd daughter, Amanda now 2 1/2.  I turn 40 in December and I have a 2 year old.  My ankles, knees and back hurt and I know I am going to start having other medical issues.  I get tired playing with her and I need to do something about it not only so I can be a better mom now, but so I will be around as long as possible for her and my grandchildren.  I chose LapBand because I just needed some help with my hunger issues without an intense and invasive surgery like gastric bypass.  I know that with the help o fthe LapBand I can reach my goals without relapse.  I am looking forward not only to the outcome but the journey as well.
