I don't really have a story yet.  I am interested in trying the lap-band because I need/want to get my life back.  I am 32 years old. I have 2 daughters, who are 3 and 5. I want to be active like I used to be. I have a wonderfully supportive husband, who is not quite sure of this "crazy" idea of mine.  I have a history of depression and anxiety, which in my opinion, aggravates the obesity problem. It's like a vicious cycle. I feel depressed, so I eat b/c I figure I'm already obese. Well, by being obese, I get depressed and eat again. Blah!!  I want to get my life back!  I think it really hit me when I applied for extra life insurance through work and I was denied because of my BMI.I am going to a seminar this week in regards to the lap-band and I am bringing my husband with me. I have told him that I need/want his complete support before going forward with this new excursion.  So for now, I am doing my research and trying to get as much info as I can. I would rather do the lap-band because it is less invasive. However, if the surgeon recommends something else for me, I will strongly consider what the doctor feels is the right choice for me.
