I have struggled with weight most of my adult life.  However, when I had my last child at 35 years old I found it the most difficult time to lose the weight.  For the past 14 years I have tried many many different plans, diets, drugs and institutions.  I would lose the weight and gain it back plus.  When my back started to give me problems a year ago and it hindered me from my daily activities with my family, etc., I needed to either have back surgery to correct the problem or lose weight and hope that my back would heal itself.  Since I was having to pay out of pocket for either surgery I decided to go with the lapband.  It was obviously less cost and not as invasive and recovery would be much less as well.  I have had my surgery 3-1/2 weeks ago and I am just starting out in learning portion control, triggers that cause me to eat the wrong foods, etc.  I am placing a lot of hope on to this surgery to assist me in overcoming the pitfalls that cause me to over eat or make bad choices.
