Lap-band Surgery

I have recently been accepted for lapband surgery mostly because of multiple co-morbidities such as Type 2 diabetes etc. Deciding on surgery was not an easy choice. I made the decision knowing that with the moderate wieght los of 40-60 lbs my health will be much improved. I'll likely be on less medications able to move more easily and have more endurance.
After multiple failures of regaining weight after dieting I have decided I need more than will power to help me to become healthier. Certainly eating healthy and moving more are important but the band will also reinforce when I am full by limiting my stomach space.
Information about the band can be accessed at the site listed:

The following site contains a group of forums from those making a decision through the process leading to surgery and after surgery recovery and living.
