I posted earlier but never told you all about myself. I am a 29 year old mother of 3. I have always been on the heavy side. I am at my highest weight 198lbs. I was small in high school because I lived on little to no food. That was so unhealthy, I now realize you need to eat to live not live to eat, that has been very hard. I want to get the lap band because I feel I am already making small changes, and this would be a tool to a better healthier life not only for myself but my kids to. I hope to meet some people and listen to their story. thanks God bless:smile2:
