My weight has been up and down all my adult life. It was always a never ending battle. Everytime I lost weight I would end up gaining and weighing more then I was when I lost the weight. Started looking into weight loss surgery when I was 22. Was looking into the gastric bypass but that fell through. Thankful it did because the lapband has been a blessing and is alot safer. It has took 5 years to finally get the surgery. When the gastric bypass fell through I thought all was lost. But started looking into the lapband in 2008. Went to a seminar in Sept 2008 and had my surgery Dec 16 2008. It feels so wonderful to be finally losing the weight and keeping it off. Im 6 months post op and have lost 60 pounds. I feel better then I have in a long time. Cant wait to reach my goal weight at 130- 135. Going to be posting before and after pics a little later.
