Hey all, I am 22 years old. I have been struggling with my weight all my life. I have been about this same weight for 8 years, and I have had enough. My father died at age 43 of a heartattack and I don't have plans to follow in his footsteps. After many failed attempts at losing weight I am now determined to fix it. I recieved my Lap Band on September 7th 2007. Its been a great tool!
