Growing up I wasn't over-weight but thicker than either of my biological siblings so I was always yo-yo-ing between (size 7-14). My weight became an issue the moment I was pregnant with my first child. I gained 95 lbs and have battled ever since. It's been 17 yrs now and honestly, losing the weight hasn't become any easier. I had an opportunity to have the lapband about 8 yrs ago and didn't do it believing I would "try harder" and be a success without the band. Now... Well, I had surgery 2/28/13, as today I'm 4 days post-op and can't wait for the band to help me reach and maintain the success I know I am capable of.
