Hello, this is sunshinegirl (sue) and I live in Halifax, NS, Eastern Canada. I am 40 yrs old with no children, and co-own manage 4 homes for special care. I've been overweight most of my life and tried every diet going. I need to get control on how much I eat and the band will hopefully be my saviour. I lost 80lbs in 2004 on the Atkins diet but once I lost the weight i thought that I could control my eating but instead I started to gain back the weight. I tried a few times to get back on a low carb life style but it did not work. I love junk and don't like to cook. I looked great (my avatar pic) but it was not enought to override my desire to eat. I love to travel and usualy go to the caribbean every year, so as you can imagine its difficult to look good on the beach when you are overweight. I have a wonderful husband and he stands by me with every decision. He is not overweight and encourages me to exercise. We both enjoy lifting weights (him a little more than me) and I've seen the effects of strenght training when you lose the fat around the muscles (you look awsome!!) and I desire that look again. I am excited about this procedure and can't wait to start my permanent weightloss journey.
