LAP-BAND Patients

I have always struggled with my weight. I always thought that I would be stuck in this body. But a little over a year ago my cousin's wife told me about the Lap-Band. She had it done in June of 2008 with great results. She prompted me to look into and so I did. I have never regretted that moment I called to go to the seminar. A little over a year from that first meeting I will have my surgery. October 16th. I can barely stand it at times. I am taking a road that will make me a healthier person. I will be able to do the job I have always wanted to do. I am a nursing student. I had a hard time with clinicals but through this process of losing some weight things got easier. I know things will continue to get easier as I lose.
