My Lap-Band Story
For years after having my children i kept gaining weight, before i knew it i was 30lbs heavier. I always felt very tired and self consious about myself because i was always skinny. So i went to my doctor, it was then that i found out i had Diabetes type 2 what i always thought as the fat ladies disease. In the begining i would fight with my doctor about taking medication, i would exercise and walk alot however i had some personal family issues which caused me to become lazy and depressed. A couple of years 4 to be exact i decided i had enough an i researched the Lap-band. I was amazed that this could solve both my illness and weight problem. Now im almost seven months in and still struggling, however this time im tring to work it out, my attitude is push through and don't go back, never go back. I hope that i can still stay focused .
