Hello everyone!

Well my name is Priscilla, i'm a mother to a beautiful 6 month old baby girl. I am 19 years old. I am also a full-time student. I also have a wonderful boyfriend of 3 1/2 years! I am in the process of deciding whether I should get the lap band or not. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it. I try not to listen to those who tell me about their bad experiences with it (so few I could count them on one hand). Just like many others on here I have been over weight majority of my life. The last time I was in the healthy weight was when I was 6 years old. I am sad to say most of my life I have been unhealthy and overweight. Other than my weight my overall health is good. I don't have any major problems other than my back hurting sometimes but I think thats because I broke 4 bones on my back when I was 10 years old from a 8 foot fall on a pile of bricks!!!  ouch! I just feel like its time for me to make a life change. I am young and also its kind of taking a toll on my relationship. My boyfriend loves me at this weight but I have noticed I am beginning to become more senstive about my weight and I tend to get upset when he tries to show any kind of physical contact. I am just not content with my body right now. Most girls my age are between 110-130. I would be soooooo happy if I was 135-140. If I do decide to go through with it I plan on having it done by Doctor Alvarez in Mexico. I dont have health insurance and I have heard it takes a while with health insurances and I also don't have credit because I am so young, and I sure as hell dont have 15000 grand. SOOOOO... Mexico is pretty much my only option. I have researched and made sure I'm going to go with a certified surgeon. And from all the reviews of Dr. Alvarez I am sure i'll be in great care! Well, i'll keep update with ya'll and let you know the 411 on everything but welcome to my profile and I hope to make great friends while on my journey to my new life!! :)
