I have always been short and round growing up, I never thought much about it until after I had my Daughter who is now 8yrs old. I listened to the comments the kids would say to her and it made her feel bad, I would try to explain to her that kids sometmes say things that are mean and she should not let it affect her because we are both beautiful people. Mind you she is small while I am big, But it really did not hit me until I had become very sick in early 2010 that I needed to lose weight for my health. I had tried for years to lose it but dieting never had a longterm effect.

I became seriously sick in March 2010 with multiple problems and I the doctor kept telling me is lose wieght and all will get better. Now all my life I have been healthly except for having Asthma.

I heard about Lap Band and I researched all about it and found Dr. Brown whom is wonderful, went had my consultation and qualified. Everything was looking up. The Day of my Surgery Oct 2010, I weighed in at 225lbs. Eveything was great until 2 weeks post when I found out I was pregnant.

Well everything worked out and I had a beautilful son July 2011, I gained 20lbs which put me at 245lbs at delivery. I had a c-section for the second time so recovery was twice as long but 8 weeks later I was down 30lbs (215lbs), but quickley put back on the weight. In Oct 2011 I weighed in at 245lbs for my 1st fill. As I began to follow the the lap band regiman started to lose weight, I had my regular appts and fills done and I thought [b]YEEESSSS[/b] I am doing it I am losing weight
