I am 49 years old, married to my husband Sam for 27 years. I have 2 sons Trevor age 24 and Shane age 22. My weight gain began with my first pregnancy and has continued to steadily rise despite my repeated attempts to diet over the years. I have been on every imaginable 'fad' diet out there and have enough books, tapes, and products to start my own diet store. About 2 years ago I had scheduled a consultation for lap band after a good friend had hers done. Then I chickened out and decided I could do it on my own.........well needless to say I didn't,  even after spending 7 months with a personal trainer and not losing a pound. Every attempt to lose ended in failure.......After making some changes with my high stress job and a rather rough bout with alcohol I decided now was the time to get the weight off. I am still a smoker and will give that up eventually but I have to take this all one step at time. I feel in control of my life again and am happy to find the sleeve now versus the band as before.
