I have been overweight off and on for about 25 years. I would always gain a significant amount of weight after each childbirth, but over time I would lose the weight, but when I reached thirty, the weight packed on and stayed on. I have tried numerous diets and would lose 20- 25 pounds...get discouraged with being hungry all the time and would give up. Last year, I was diagnoised with breast cancer. February of 2008, I had a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. This year is my year to get healthy and active! With the weight loss, I hope to resolve my hypertension and lower my cholesterol. I think that lap band is my answer. I have my surgery scheduled for July 2, 2009. I am ready for a new, healthier me!!
