Yes I am going to start working on my profile, hopefully i find something to put on it.

The reason for me getting Lapband is that I am 15 years old and already have a high weight, around 325. I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 5 years old, then it started getting really bad. I want to do several things that I cant do because I am so overweight. I have missed out on a bunch of oppurtunities throughout my life.

I also am going to be a Police Officer so the surgery is just a step to becoming a better police officer. I am going to do so much when I am done with surgery. I have been insecure at times and embaressed of my weight. At school I fit in the chairs but it is a tight fit, and I hate it. I am just sick of being overweight too. Both my dad and moms side of the family have weight problems too. Many members in my family have diabetes including my dad, back problems, heart attacks, shortness of breath and knee problems. So I am just trying to eliminate all or most of these health problems.

I also quit football for 9th and 10th grade, because I just couldn't take all of the running and I kept getting injured. So next year I will be playing football which I absolutely love football, between the hitting and teamwork. I am soo excited to go back to football next year after my surgery.
