Hi Angie, Yours was the first post I read when I registered on the board. I have debated long and hard about getting lap band and have decided to pursue it. I am going to the information session on April 14th. My MIL passed away from complications due to gastric bypass. For that reason I know my husband, family, and friends will have very strong feelings about it. I'm not even telling my husband right now until I go through all the prelim stuff, assuming I get approved. My weight has been an issue my entire life and I want to be free of this. I'm not afraid to work hard, I was a runner and I desperately want to get back to that level of fitness. I know I can use it as the tool it's supposed to be but I don't think Ill be able to convince my husband that I can't lose all this weight (again) alone and keep it off. May I ask, did your aunt also have lap band or was it gastric bypass? Many thanks for a reply
