Hello everyone... I am 28 years old and like many others have been overweight most of my life.. I do remember starting on diet pills, diets, etc. at the age of 16 and my weight just kept climbing from then on.. I did lose 70 pounds at one time on Weight Watchers but it's been about 8 years ago and like every other diet I have always regained more weight than I had lost. I will be married for 10 years Oct. 2008 and I have a wonderful husband that works very hard to support us. We have one daughter Haylee Joe who will be 4 in Aug. I had many complications before and during pregnancy which I think could have been avoided if my weight would have been down some but the most important thing is after 5 years of trying she's here, healthy and I love her more every day! I am also a foster parent and love taking care of kids that need me.. It's a job that is neverending but I wouldn't trade it for nothing in this world! They are like my own kids.. I had been thinking about Gastric Bypass for many years now and had already seen another Dr. and went through a few months of medical weight loss and just decided this wasn't for me.. This year I started looking into the Lap Band and now have decided this is exactly what I've been looking for... I am very excited about my decision and just can't wait till I can say "I'm banded"!
