I don't really have a good story. I suddenly realized I could hardly climb a flight of stairs without gasping for breath. I had been doing so well with weight loss and maintenance, when I started fracturing bones in my feet. They were related to weak ligaments not the bones. In less than 5 years I had 4 fractures. When I sat, I ate and when I ate, I grew. And not up. Suddenly, I'm 51, very over weight and can't breath. On top of which, I am adopted without a family history of any kind. I feared my behaviours were going to get me deal. I don't want that for me. I have so many things left I want to do. I had a yearly physical with my family MD and told him my concerns and what I had been thinking about(Lap banding) He agreed immediately and referred me. I guess the rest is history since my surgery is next friday.
