I am 42 and have been obese for 10 years since I had my second child. I grew up always overweight until High School. I was involved in everything in HS and I was very confident and active. Now I don't even like to leave my house. My husband hates how I look and my kids are worried about my health. I do not want to be embarrassed to go in public anymore; I want to be healthy - I'd like to lower my blood pressure and get rid of my diabetes.

I am thinking about having lap band surgery done. Weight Watchers was not successful as I do NOT have the time to exercise hours a day to aid in the weight loss process. I have implemented low carb eating strategies, but not much weight is coming off.  I have been researching the lap band and think it may be my only hope!

I hope to find answers to some of my questions and relief for some of my fears here in this forum!!!!!!!!
