But it really hit me when I was visiting her listening to her at night. She was coughing and coughing. And I thought suddenly I don't want to live like that one day.<BR/>Good For You.Lisa.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/01765397185994798891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728063647025442756.post-79922825427174667472008-12-22T21:57:00.000-08:002008-12-22T21:57:00.000-08:00I don't know what the Lap band is, but I'm proud o...I don't know what the Lap band is, but I'm proud of you for your reasons behind this.

The fact that main reason was for your family, speaks volumes about you and your commitment to them.

H...Kenny's dad died last year from a heart attack. He was not yet 60. Both him and my father are diabetic. It scared us, and made us examine how we ate, what we did. For us, it was small changes. You had something more to deal with. I think you made a great decision given your circumstances. You will be healthier. You will have so much more to give your family in the future. I doubt it was sporadic or sudden or an easy decision to make.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715187918892679058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728063647025442756.post-63935571079182268472008-12-19T06:23:00.000-08:002008-12-19T06:23:00.000-08:00I know a few people that have had the Lap Band an...I know a few people that have had the Lap Band and have had great results over a long period of time, its way safer than the Gastric Bypass.
