LAP-BAND Patients

I've been overweight for most of my life. When I was young, my parents divorced. I lived with my mom in an apartment on weekdays, and my dad on the weekends. Both parents found comfort in food and so did I. As a result, I developed poor eating habits, and ate foods for fun or comfort, not out of necessity. After countless failed attempts at weight loss, my parents and I looked into the lap band surgery. So, here I am!
