I have been overweight all my life. I have tried all types of diet and excercise. I would lose the weight and I would gain double the weight. I researched about lapband and decided this is what I need to do for long term success. I would also like to have a child but I refuse to have one at my current weight because then it would be even harder to lose the current weight plus whatever I would gain during pregnancy. I am looking forward to surgery and my lifestyle. I am very excited and glad I found this website, so I can ask questions to people who have had the procedure and understand.
