I have struggled with my weight since my teenage years and like all of you have tried everything under the sun to loose weight, I have lost it but have not kept it off long enough. I finally gave up on diets and in 2005 decide to have the lap band and went from 220 lbs to 120 lbs, did a tummy tuck breast lift and lipo (looked amazing lol) then became pregnant and in 08/2007 had my precious baby and my lap band perforated my stomach, the doctors removed it and gave me 50/50 to live, I spended one week in the intensive care unit and a month total in the hospital. Believe it or not I was more sad to have lost my band than the hospital stay LOL. I obviously gained alot of weight back and are now going for the gastric bypass by  April 2009.
