It has taken me two years to make the decision to have the lap band surgery. Until recently, I did not have medical coverage, there wasn't a hospital nearby, and laparoscopy surgery wasn't available.

Well, the stars have aligned in my favor, I'm not nearly as frightened as I was prior to learning about the laparoscopy procedure. The only thing that frightens me more right now is that if I don't do this, my weight and my fibromyalgia will do me in and I'll either be in a wheelchair or dead before I hit 60.

This will not happen.

Where at in PA?
