Well let's see where do I begin. I have been overweight for much of my life well except when I was born I was a preemie and only weighed 3 lbs. Hmmm how times have changed LOL. I decided to undergo the lap band procedure after trying numerous attempts at dieting....I have done just about everything there is out there. I did lose weight but then always put it back on even more. So when I heard about the lap band I thought it would be a perfect fit for me. So far things have been going great. I have lost 20 lbs so far (from my pre op diet also) and I am feeling really good. I am so glad that I made that decision. I can't wait to get to my goal weight (which I haven't decided on yet) I am hoping for around 175 or something around there. That sounds excellent to me. I'm so glad to have this website to go to for answers and information.
