I am 49 years old. I am married with a 13 year old daughter

I am so excited that lapband is available to me. I dont know If I could handle bypass surgery. I weigh 285. I use to be thin but after my 3rd child I developed a thyroid problem which started my weight problem. I have gained, lost and regained large amts of weight. I snore , cant sleep or lay on back without breathing problems , Im breathless, my legs swell at slightest activity. My bloodpressure is going up. I am lucky tht my BMI is around 46 so I was eligible for the surgery automatically without the need for health issues but as you can see I have few of my own.

I am currently on the preop diet whcih I am sticking to to the letter. It makes you full but it is boring

Good luck to you. And good for you for sticking to the preop diet! Let us know how you make out.

Took me a minute to understand your title! Good luck!
