I've always considered myself active and in shape...  But then every now and again I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror...  If I didn't know me I'd say "Wow that guys fat"!  I am the main caretaker in my family of 3 young girls and one grown and on her own.  My wife is awesome but if anything ever happened to me, she'd be in for a rough ride.  So I knew I had to do something.  My problem as I just love to eat!  So while I have a good grasp on self control professionally, and other personal area's, food was my addiction.  Thus the decision to go with the "Lap-band".  My surgery is Feb 27th 2010 so we will see how things go from there!
