My story ,where do I begin. I feel like I've been battling weight All my life.(What did I expect when my 1st love other than family, occurred around the age of 7 it was DONUTS 
) To this very day I still love them. The real problem started after the birth of my son, and I ended up my fibromyalgia. As most people I lost and I gained. In 1990 I was diagnosed with Hogdkin's Lymphoma. With radiation treatments I lost >40lbs. My most significant weight loss to date. About 3years ago I started having health issues related to my weight. So I talked with my Doctor about the Lap Band. She stated that she was once over weight and she excercised and ate healthy and suggested I try Weight Watchers or some other program . She felt that Lap-Band was drastic action. At that time my BMI was 37.5, with Hypertension. So now 4 years later I now have, Asthma, GERD, Hypertension, Slipped Disc and a torn mensicus, and pnuemonia 3 times in 4 years, and now a BMI of 39.7 ,>90lbs overweight and the term MORBIDLY OBESE added to the above diagnosis and my medical record. Ii'm on a misson I'm changing doctors and I won't stop changind Doctors until I find the one who is interested in helping me be around to see my grandchildren grow up,not interested in standing on principles. So I'm looking for a Bariatric Doctor so that I can do Lap-Band and achieve excellent health for my age.
