I am a 26 year old mother of 2 who can not keep up with them because of my weight! I weigh 250 pounds and I am 5'7. I have been heavy for much of my life. After having my second child I have hit my all time weight of 260 pounds and I felt awful. I guess you can consider me the poster child for fad diets! I I have tried Trimspa, Curves for Women, Slimfast, Propelene and most recently Alli. With each of them I have seen some results but nothing to write home about! After my son I decided to just watch what I eat and limit my food intake which has lost me 10 pounds and now I am stuck! I thought I would never go the surgery route until I saw the Lap-Band advertised on tv and now here I am. My husband is currently on active military duty and stationed in Fort Benning, GA. he is so loving and supportive and of course thinks I am perfect just the way I am, but he does support my decision and I will be scheduling the surgery after he gets home this spring. I am looking for any and all experiences with the Lapband both good and bad, so that I can be as educated as possible.
