Hi guys! i have never blogged before but i just thought i would let people know about my story. I am 20 years old and was my heaviest at 261. everytime i looked in the mirror i just saw this fat girl but my insides were telling me this is was not suppose to be me. I am in nursing school and i want to be a good example for my patients and i want to be able to be the best nurse i can be physically and mentally... So one morning i looked up an info session and was on my way to a healthier life! I was banded January 9 2012 and am already down 30lbs!! i havent been this weight since before 8th grade!!! My nutritionist and doctor are so excited because i havent even recieved my first fill and they said that most people loose that much after a fill. I am nervous about the fill though...im afriad its going to hurt or they'll fill it too much...right now im in the "green zone" so they and I are happy!...over all i would say this is the BEST decision i have ever made!
