Italics

I have always been against Lap Band surgeries (for myself, not for others). I considered it 'giving up' and 'taking the easy way out'. I convinced myself that I would lose the weight the old fashion way, with a healthy diet and consistent exercise. That was working until I injured my back. After months of physical therapy, I realized I just needed to lose the weight. There's no giving up involved in a major life change. So, once decided, I made it my priority to start this journey as soon as possible.I lost 20lbs pre-op, and I can't wait to see how post-op helps.
