Hello all! My name is Hedi. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember! I managed to lose a little weight before I got pregnant with my 1st child. I lad lost down to 175lbs. Then when I found I was pregnant with my child I did not pay close attention to what I ate and gained up to 232 lbs. After he came along I lost back down to 185lbs. It was such a struggle trying to get the weight off and pretty soon I shot back up to 227 lbs. Several ladies and one man in our church had lapband and I watched them for a couple years to see if it worked. They all have wonderful success with their bands, so in May 2009 I started working with my family practice doctor. I went through 6 months of nutritional counseling with my doctor, saw a dietician and a psychologist. FinallyI sent my request for approval to my insurance company on December 2rd 2009. I finally got my approval on January 30th. I was banded on February 19th 2010. That was yesterday, today I am pretty sore and still kind of weak and groggy. I'm finally on  my way though~
