Hello everyone let me tell you a little about my self, i have struggle with my weight all my life and all my life i have felt some time of way because of it. In middle school i remember being teased because i was the heaviest in my class. I remember in high school, prom year there was this guy that i had a crush on the whole year and i would have loved for him to ask me to prom " but of course i knew that wasn't going to happen" well come to find out i guess some one told him that i had a thing for him and guess what he said he laughed and said" that girl is to big for me, she is not my type". After that i did water and pretzel for about 2 weeks till i could'nt take the hunger any more and then ate like a pig. I have always been very insecure because of my weight and how people always looked at me. Well it got worst after i meat my husband who i love so much and he loves me no matter what i weigh well we got married and a year later i had a beautiful baby boy. I gained 50 pounds, then a year and a half later i had a beautiful little girl with her i gained 20 pounds on top of the 50 i never lost with my son any ways with that being said lets just says that i was a very depressed mommy, i was always tired, weak and i did not care how i looked i would not go out because i did not have much to wear, or because i was always worried about what people would say. I decided to do something about my weight after seeing my daughters 1st b-day pic's i looked terrible and fat i was so disgusted with my self not mentioning how i always felt health wise that i looked into the lap band surgery and for months i researched online and just read and read, that's when i decided to go to a seminar to see what they had to say and to be honest i was still hesitant about the whole thing and having this thing in you. i knew that i needed extra help because i have tired everything from diets to exercising which did helped but then i would gain it all back. April 2008 i decided to go ahead with the surgery my husband was not to happy about it at first but he was very supportive, my insurance did cover it but i had attend a six months program first. On November 19 2008 i had my band placed,  1 year and 90 pound lighter i am proud and happy to say that i made the best decision of my life. Thank you lord and thank you Dr. Wynn. I now found my self all over again i love the way i look, i love to go out with my family, the best part is shopping in the smaller section and looking like i am full of life and happiness again i fell so confident in what i wear and what i do, and most importantly i love, and take care of my band.
