Hello to everyone, I am new here and this is my first post. I was wanting to hear your story on how you decided to to the lap band and how you like it months, years down the road..from how you herd about it til today!

I am 27 yrs old 300lbs and have tried and tried to lose the lbs since high school. I have always been kinda big but never this big. I can stick to a diet for a little bit but then slip off of it. My wife is over weight too and we are both going to do the lap band surgery at the same time, looks like july 27th. I am really scared but know I really need to lose weight and the lap band will help me do that. My wife said to ask questions but I have ask til blue in the face and it seems like the best way to lose weight when you have been fighting it for so long.

Thanks

Mark
