Hi everyone! My name is Kathy and I'm soooo ready to change my life! Right now I'm in the very first stages of it all. Which means I've discussed lap band surgery with my GP. He's all for it so I'll be visiting the surgeon he's recommended very soon. So far I've not had a whole lot of support other than my Hubby. Everyone else has pretty much told me lots of failure stories or how I'm gonna look even worse with bags of excess skin hanging everywhere. Or things like, "well I'd like to get a quick fix too but that's just not me." First of all I know this surgery is NOT a quick fix. Second of all I'm tryin to save my life. I'm 5'3" and weigh around 285 and my bones are very tiny. That was discovered in 2009 when I had my left knee reconstructed. Soooo, the bottom line is, I have a LOT of health problems AND this weight is gonna do me in if I don't get rid of it. I'm very excited about getting my life back and excited to get to know people like you guys that know where I'm comin from and have fought some of the same battles as me. I look forward to getting to know ya'll!
