Well my story goes a little like this, I have been over weight most of my life (well I can't remember a time when I was not over weight !) I have been on a diet 95% of my life with not success. I have always been healthy with the weight, until a month ago, I had a cyst to rupture on one of my ovaries, found out I had a hernia, and high blood pressure all in one day. Needless to say I had to do something. My mom had the lap band and did okay she lost about 60 pound and it stopped, don't get me wrong she looks great but she still has about 50 more pounds to lose, now her doctor is talking about taking the band out giving her the gastric bypass. I want to skip all that and just get the gastric, I have about 120 to lose but I will be happy with 90 to 100. I have had my Psychological evaluation and a sleep apnea test last night. I haven't heard from the doctor that did my evaluation but I do have sleep apnea, I have to sleep with a breathing machine now. I'm married and have 4 little girls...I can't leave them early because I ate to much...I have to be approved for this surgery it's my last hope!!!
