I have been waiting for my surgery date to tell you my story. I am 58 years old and I have been married to my wonderful husband for 40 years. We have two son's ages 39 and 37. They are both good guys and we are very proud of them. We have to really nice daughter-in-laws and two wonderful granddaughters ages 18 and 10, one from each son. Our daughter in laws are also our friends. My mom is 91 years old and lives alone, she is a peach. I have my friends, who are very special to me, and I can't imagine how things would be without them.
I have been overweight for most of my adult life. I have been on just about every diet there is out there. I have lost weight only to put it back on. Recently I have been having many medical problems that are associated with being over weight . I felt it was time to finally do something about it. I have to much to live for, to let food kill me.
Since I began my journey on 5\5\08 I have lost 42 lbs. It has not been easy, I am always hungry, but hopefully the Lap Band will help me to succeed.
I will have my surgery on October 23rd. Wish me well.
Helen
