I was never heavy when I was younger but as the years progressed the weight gain changed the quality of my life. I've been on numerous diets but never with lasting success. I'm hoping that the lapband will be the tool needed to make a permanent positive change.

Life is good and I am looking forward to my health improving with the loss of my extra baggage.

I would like to thank the brave vloggers for sharing their weight loss journey. It is very helpful. I hope to be supportive to the WLS community. Continued success to everyone.
