I have struggled with weight loss since my 20's, when I became a mom, and went through a nasty divorce. In 2001 I had open heart surgery to repair an aortic Anuerysm. I will have to have this surgery done again withint he next few years. My cardiologist told me that if I don't lose the weight I could possibly die on the table and if that didn't happen I could be prone to all kinds of infections. It was time for me to wake up and do something.
Over the years I have tried every diet you can think of without success. I would lose the weight and then gain it back again. Finally I decided after careful research and talking with people that had already had it done, I decided on the Gastric Lap Band surgery.
I want to feel better. I want to be able to walk without my back hurting or my legs giving out. I also don't want to be a diabetic which the last time my doctor told me I was borderline everything. I just want to be free of this hell that I live in right now being 150 pounds over weight.
