I am a 58 year old sister, wife, mother & grandmother. I am a school bus driver. I have been battling my weight for 30 years, and decided to do something about it. I couldn't get on the floor and play with my 3 year old grandson. I wanted to get healthy so I can see my great grandchildren. I am doing good, I am in my 4th week after surgery.

Well, it has been a year since my lapband. I am 54 lbs lighter and 100% healthier. I have been taken off 2 of my medications. It was the best decision I could have made for myself. I have quite a bit of weight to lose but now I have a tool to help me reach my goal. It hasn't been all easy, I have been playing with these 5 lbs for a few months, up and down. It isn't anything with the surgery its me battling with food. I know what to do I just have to put my mind to the task at hand. Through God I have come a long way.
