Hi, I am a 50 year old nurse that finally came to a realization...I need help in getting my life back. I know what to do and can educate others on the health risks of obesity but when it comes to myself it seems nothing works. I have been on almost every diet out there and have even been on weight loss meds but nothing ever kept the weight off , long term. I am only 4,10 (on a tall day) and at present I weigh between 185-190 depending on the day. I also have several weight related problems such as hypertension, sleep apnea, severe fatigue, chronic joint pain and hyperlipidemia. I have been doing my homework and became very interested in lap-band surgery. I am scheduled to have surgery on 4-4-08. I am married to a great guy and coming up on our 25th wedding anniversity. We have a wonderful daughter who is in her second year of nursing school. They both are very supportive. I am excited about losing weight and startng to look and feel better.
