I am filling out the paperwork for getting a Lab-Band, specifically the family history part. I just got off the phone with my parents because I wanted to ask them what diseases were on each side. I have a family history of breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke, high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, kidney stones, and gall bladder problems. Particulary prominent on both sides is heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. So unless I have this operation (and maybe even if I do have it), I am pretty sure I know what I will die of when the time comes.:help:

I am working on mine as well. I'm not so sure my sisters will appreciate me calling them to ask what they weigh so that I can put it on my form. Maybe I'll just guess on those 2. :thankyou:

Good for you for making this step with that family history! You are doing the most wonderful thing for your life!!! Congratulations!!!

Wow, scary. I bet you're extra glad you're getting banded!
