I've been overweight my entire life, and have not been under 200lbs since I was a teen. Started looking into RNY in the late '90's, and even had a consult scheduled when my insurance stopped covering the surgery. The fears of the complications from RNY, especially after learning I would need to self-pay, led me to investigate the lap band. On December 29, 2006, I had outpatient lap band surgery.
My goal with this surgery is to get rid of my diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
