My name is Alecia, I am from NY. I quit smoking Jan.7,06 after smoking for over 30 years non stop. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and High blood pressure. needless to say I was on steroids and other medications. (no excuses) but since quitting I have gained 60+ lbs. I refuse to let this beat me. My doctor is concerned about my sugar and cholesterol.

I am had lap band surgery done. after trying and failing on so many diets and more.. My self esteem just kept going down. I would lose a little gain a lot this has gone on for years. I would also try every "New" thing that came out. same process I go down I go back up. so the decision to have the surgery was not a decision made in haste.

I was banded on Sept. 2nd. my starting weight was 219 after surgery I was 207 needless to say I was so happy. but now I seem to gain 2 pounds and lose 2 pounds.

I am looking forward to reaching my goal weight of 150..

**I have decided to remove the band & have the sleeve done. It just did not work for me..My surgery date is Aug 4th 2014.
