Hi everyone. I am 32 years old. I have been married for 10 years but we’ve been together for 15 years. He is my high school sweetheart. Together we have 3 kids..ages 14, 10, and 5. As you can imagine, I’m pretty damn busy! About 5 years ago in 2004 I had Lap-Band surgery. My son was 6 months old when I had the surgery. Why did I do it? Well…after my son was born, I was 260lbs, 27 years old, and totally depressed and embarrassed about the way I looked and felt. I had no energy whatsoever and I didn’t even want to go outside. I had always been overweight, but this was out of control for me. I could not believe that I let myself get this way. I felt so UGLY! One day, I was reading the paper and I saw hat there was a free seminar on weight loss surgery. I thought, “What the heck! Why not!”. So I told my husband about it and asked him to go with me. He gave me “THE LOOK”, but said he would go. So anyway, we went. It seemed harsh and totally hard, but I was dead set on doing it after the seminar. I made my first appointment and the rest is history! Here I am 5 years later ……100lbs less than I was when I started. It was like a gift from God! THANK YOU JESUS!
