I guess my story is like many others. I have been heavy all my life and the older I got the more I gained. Glancing at my bookcase I think I have almost every diet book written. After the birth of my daughter my back started hurting every day without let up. When I went to the doctor I was given the option of pain medications or surgery. I didn't want either. My four year has started making comments like "Mom maybe if you took vitmains your butt wouldn't be so big" or when I was commenting that he getting so big that I could hardly hold him on my lap he said "Um mom I am not the one getting big" I want to be a good influence on my kids. I want to take them to the water park and not be embarrassed. So on March 1st I am getting the LB done. I am excited to get serious and work with this tool to improve my life.
