i HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY WEIGHT EVER SINCE I WAS 6 YEARS OLD. SO I KNEW THAT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY FATHER HAD GASTRIC BYPASS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I WAS LUCKY THAT AS OF NOW I DIDNT SUFFER FROM ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS, BUT I KNEW WITH THAT WEIGHT THE MEDICAL CONDITIONS WOULD SOON FOLLOW. SO I WAS WANTED TO GET THE WEIGHT CORRECT. I HAD TIRED MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIETS YOU NAME IT I TIRED IT WITH THE SAME RESULT A LITTLE WEIGHT LOSS AND I GAIN IT RIGHT BACK PLUS SOME MORE. ONE DAY MY MOM WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS SURGERY THAT SHE HAD SEEN ON TV CALLED LAP BAND SURGERY. SO I LOOKED INTO THE SURGERY AND DID MY RESEARCH AND ME AND MY MOTHER ATTEND THE LAP BAND SEMINAR AND WERE REALLY IMPRESSED SO WE DECIDED TO GO FOR IT. SO FOR THE NEXT 3 OR SO MONTHS WE DID ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED OF FOR OUR INSURANCE AND THE DOCTOR. SO ON JULY 13. 2009 MY LIFE WAS CHANGED. I FEEL AWESOME I HAVE CURRENTLY LOST 35LBS AND I CAN WAIT TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE I WILL LOSE. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT MY FUTURE!!!!!!!
