Hi Everyone,My name is Linda and I am 60 years old. Every since giving birth 39 years ago, I have never lost the weight I gained and it steadily went up. Like all of you, tried every pill, fad diet, doctor diet, weight loss centers to no avail. I would lose 10 pounds and gain 20 and so on, and so on. My husband had lap-band over a year ago and I'm so proud of how he is losing his weight. My doctor told me a while ago that she would have to switch me over to insulin for my diabetes because I couldn't get my sugar levels low enough and was taking the largest amount of glucophage in pill form that is available. This worried me because my husband and I adopted our grandson 5 years ago and he is only 9 today. That means I have to be around for a lot longer to see him through to adulthood and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to be there when he goes off to college, gets married and has children of his own. So lap-band was the way to go for me. I encourage everyone to go to a seminar and really think about your future.
