I had lap-band surgery on Feb.11th, 2010, and it took me about a year to make the decision. Once I made my mind up I was very excited and couldn't wait! It wasn't to hard to make the decision. I grew up so athletic and after four knee surgeries, I just couldn't play anymore sports and just walking without pain was a hard task. I just kept putting on weight and before I knew it, I was over 300lbs. I just wanted my life back just everyday things like going through a turn style at the market without turning sideways! I want to be able to get on rides at amusement parks, I started avoiding them because I wanted to save myself the embarrassment of being turned away. I started my nutrition classes first in June and it seemed like forever before I could get a surgery date...only because I was so excited. I am now ready for my new life in post op!
