I am a 46 year old wife and mother of two who is finally ready to take back her life. I have a very supportive husband and two sons, one 17 and the other 10. I want to start enjoying activities with them that my weight keeps me out of right now.

I am a full time small animal veterinarian, a job which I love.

I have been battling weight issues since I got out of the military in my early 20's and have lost and regained the same 50# about 10 times. This is the tool that will help me finally get the weight off and keep it off so I can enjoy a healthy and active middle age and beyond!

I am a cancer survivor - I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was 40 and went through almost a year of chemotherapy and radiation. I have been cancer free for five years. During chemotherapy was the only time in my life when my doctors were happy with my weight! Even my oncologist, however, is now telling me to lose weight.

I had my lap band placed 2/21/11.
