So I had my daughter in October 13, 2008. I married my husband December 4, 2008. I had my son October 21, 2009. After I gave birth to my son I thought with breastfeeding and eating somewhat healthy I would lose my "baby fat" and go back to me.. ShAyNa.. well here I am 9 months later and 80 pounds heavier. I just don't understand. I have literally gave up trying to figure out what is going on with my body.. I want to and try to work out but it hurts so much and I run out of breath so quickly because of the extra weight that I am carrying now. Between having no sleep (being up with the babies) the stress of certain family members running a muck and my husband not really understanding thinking that I don't try hard enough and/or care.. I believe the stress of everything is keeping this weight on me and not going anywhere. That is why I turned to weight loss surgery. I, at first, was leaning toward the by-pass..but after doing a bit more research I decided on getting the band. I'm nervous and anxious about the surgery..but I'm extremely excited! The only thing is that my husband doesn't support me in the surgery..so of course that hurts. I would support him in anything that would make him happy not too mention alot more healthier..I don't know we'll see.

i was a size 9/10 when i had my twins...after they were born, i dropped to a size 8! but their brother came 15 months later and i've been BIG every since---maxing out at size 18/20...my son turned 15years old last December!! so i decided that the "baby fat" had to go as my "baby" is now in high school!!! the band has been the best weightloss decision i've EVER made!!! I am less than 3 months into this and i am already down to a size 14!!!! i am so happy!!!

Did you have your insurance cover the surgery? I am going to request that. I was a size 12 and 170 pounds at 5'9" and that was after three kids, well getting remarried in 2005 and having another baby in 2006, I am at my heaviest ever.. 260, I hope I have the results I have seen here. I am excited to start and have my first appointment next week.
