Danigerl2009

My name is Danielle.I'm 25 years old. I had my first appointment with the weight loss clinic on Oct 8.This is a big step for me.I've been heavy most of my life.I was and still am very active ( I'm at the gym 3 days a week and take my dog for walks that are about 1 hr long).So, I really don't understand why this weight just won't come off.I don't sit around eating all day.I'm a 3 meal person, it's rare for me to snack and if I do it's normally apple slices or yogurt..once in a while a hand full of chips.I'm not going to lay. I do like chips or chocolate once in a while..who doesn't ! After a year I decided that since I'm not able to loss the weight myself It was time to look into getting Lap band.My sister Tiffanie has already had Lap-band surgery.It's been a year for her and she's lost about 40 lbs maybe a little more,she to has tried every diet known to man kind,eats right and yet still had weight issues.After she had her surgery in July of 08, I watched as she started her new life with " the Band" and would laugh at her when during dinner I would see her sit straight up and take a few deep breaths, I would start to giggle and say it got stuck didn't it.I pretty much know what I'm getting into.But I would still like to hear stories other people besides my sister's, who may I add does not hold back.I'm in the first steps, Monday I have my first set of blood work, after that the office will callto go to step 2 ....wish me luck!                                                                           Danielle
