Hi Everyone,

         My name is Sara Leon, I am 38 yrs old and have been over weight most of my life, I was diagonosed With Polycystic Ovay Syndrome which causes maney hormonal issues like being over wieght, I was told I had this in my later teens, I went on maney medications to help me loss weight but nothing worked, I am very active in my lifestyle and try to eat right but the weight never has came off, I am at my heaviest of 323 lbs, I am a member of Kaiser Permanente and they have help me alot I have decied to get Bariactric Surgery the lapband to help me along with weight loss. I have went o their classes and have learned to eat better than ever. Wo the first 15 lbs in 3 weeks went fast now iam in my 2.5 year of Lapband and now dow to an awesome weight, it has been hard work, training my self to eat righ and being more active in my life. The lapband is only a tool to help you along but if you use it in the right way it will do wonders for you. its been a struggle, but worth it. I wan to let everyone know that If I can do it you can too, I know it really difficult to cut out things you really like but to be given a second chance to be healthy and not be on medications, improve love life and to walk into a clothing store and pick out anything you want is worth every pound lost. I cant be like this anymore and with a great support group at home and outside my home has really help me. My goal weight is pound per pound nothing more that. this would not be  realistic to say I want to be at 140 right now maybe after my surgery and a year from the surgery date. I hope to gain support from everyone out there to go through this with me and support eachother through the difficult cravings and struggle that we face. Thanks Sara
