I decided to get the lap band after the seminar because of the less risks associated with the procedure.  I am a diabetic who was uncontrolled.  I was taking 160-180 units of Lantus every night which ended up being 2 injections.  I quit smoking in May of 2009.  I used Chantix to quit without much difficulties.  I officially quit drinking diet soda in September.  I also started Medifast in September which was 6 weeks ago.  I have lost 23 lbs to date.  My goal pre-surgery was 24 lbs.  I am scheduled for surgery on the 29th of October.  It is my birthday present to myself.  I will be 42 on October 28th.  I am completely off of insulin and my blood sugars are controlled.I have a daughter and a husband at home along with 2 labs and 2 cats.  My husband is very active, in great health and is very supportive to my decision.  He even got a family membership to the local YMCA to help me develop an exercise program.  My co-workers are very supportive in this journey I am about to take.My goal is to lose 90 lbs.  I have a long journey ahead of me.  The road may be rocky but I'm willing to cross the roads with success.  Here's to a new life....with the lap band.
