Ok. After months of lurking I think it is time I say hello.
My name is Monica and:
I"m 24 years old-
5'3 and 264 pounds
I've been miserable my whole life. Weight brings me down and I don't even feel like going out. Three years ago, I was 234 pounds and dieted until I reached 186. I was so happy and I found my fiancee and everything was great...suddenly I ballooned and now here I am 264.
Since then, I've developed asthma real bad and I can't breathe. Today I went for a lung function tests and she weighted me and I cried all the way home, I'm getting up to 300 pounds, I can't...I just can't...
I'm jumping on the band wagon, I can't deal with yo-yo'ing anymore. Here are the weights I have been:
130
150
234
240
186
264
It's ridiculous!
I want:
To cross my legs
to shop in normal people stores
to have comfortable sex with my bf
to improve my asthma
to gain self esteem
To have energy
To stop overeating
I'm currently seeing the surgeons in about a month
I can't wait..I'm also seeing a therapist right now so I can deal with my emotional eating, cause I know the lap band won't automatically cure that...
I'm so happy I found out about this surgery!
Nice to meet you all!
Monica
