I am a 31 yr old mother of 1 son.  I have been married for 9 yrs.  I am a nurse.  I have been overweight my whole life.  I am now the heaviest I have ever been.  After going to my family dr and seeing the number on the scale, I decided...no more.  I don't want to have a heart attack at 40.  I want to be healthy.  I want to see my son get married and watch my grandchildren grow.  I hear alot of people say that gastric bypass or banding is like taking the easy way out.  To me, there is no easy way out.  I know if I'm going to do this then I have to give 110%.  I feel like I am in a place in my life now where I can do that.  So here goes. I am going to have the band and I am going to lose the weight and become a healthier me.
