I have always been overweight, but it got really out of hand after I had 2 surgeries in 2 months in 2006. I gained over 100 lbs in a little over a year. After being diagnosed with PCOS in 2007 and trying lots of diets, I decided to look into weight loss surgery. I attended 3 seminars at 3 different local hospitals before I decided to go with Dr. Peters at CHRIAS in newark, DE. He made me feel the most comfortable and confident in my abilities to lose weight with the band. I have a surgery date of March 1, 2010 and am so looking forward to it. I am currently attending my life skills classes and have 2 appointments left to be completely cleared for surgery. I currently live in Pennsylvania with my wonderful husband who has been so supportive of me throughout this experience.
