I have been overwieght for most of my life and have been on a diet for as long as I could remember. Everyday is full of awkwardness. Between the tight pants that pinch my belly to the rolls on my back that cannot be hidden. Everything about being overweight is horrible. I have a healthier less out of breath person inside me that wants to come out.

I have always known that surgical procedures were out there but my insurance didn't cover it and I thought it would be too expensive to do on my own.

One day my sister, who has had her own weight issues, told me she was getting the lapband procedure done with Strax Rejuvenation. She encouraged me to try have my own consultation. After meeting with Dr. Choi I was hooked. He answered all my questions and thankfully the procedure is not as expensive as I originally thought. I was approved the same day, had some tests done and met with the nutritionist.

I chose to have my surgery on May 28 and will be starting my pre op diet on May 3rd. I am super excited to begin my new way of life and will be posting updates periodically along with pics.

Wish me luck!! :w00t:
