I am a 62 yr old female who has been dieting for quite a while.  At one time I weighed 435 lbs, and was so unhappy.  As of today, I have lost 225 lbs and haven't gained one lb of that back.  I hit a lot of plateaus during this process, but I was always able to change my diet and continue losing until now.  My Husband has been very ill for 6 1/2 yrs and I am his caregiver.  It is very stressful and I can't seem to lose any weight.  I have about 70 lbs more to lose.  I am tired of doctors' calling me obese, I just want to be normal.

i decided in to go to a seminar in November 2009 and find out about the lapband.  Well, after that seminar I got so excited about the lapband.  I went to see Dr. Coirin in early December 2009 and decided I wanted this surgery.  I had to get 4 doctor's approval before the surgery could be scheduled.  I got the approvals I needed by the end of December 2009.  In early Janurary 2009 a surgery date was set.  I was so excited.  I hope to lose the 70 lbs in a year and a half and then I will be a normal person.
