I have been overweight since the birth of my 2 children. They are now 25 and 21 years old.  Since their births I have been on every diet imagineable with some success.  Success has been shortlived as I always gained the weight back plus more.  Now that my kids are grown and gone I realize that I shouldve taken better care of myself and I need to do something about it now.  I have high blood pressure and fight depression.  I am fatigued most of the time and have no energy.  I checked into the lapband 3 years ago, but my insurance would not cover as it was too new of a procedure.  This year I checked if they would now cover it and they did.... so I proceeded and have just had surgery on Monday September 14th.  I am very excited that I was able to have this done and am looking for an online support group.  I totally realize that this is not a quick fix, but a tool to aid in my weight loss.
