It's a story as old as the hills. I've been fat FOREVER. I was chubby baby, a chubby kid, and a chubby teen. I was even a chubby college athelete (don't ask me how).
I turned thirty and within a month I hit 300 pounds. Panic set in. I set an appointment with my doctor because I knew I was in trouble & wanted to see how close I was to diabetes. He wanted to know how I felt about WLS & I admitted I'd never considered it. He gave me a referral to a surgeon & I went home to do some homework. Within 48 hours, I KNEW LapBand was for me. I had a surgery consult & within a week I had a date for surgery. I am ready to do this. I know it will be a lot of work & I've never been more excited to literally work my butt off. :)
