I have always had a problem with my weight ever since I was a little girl. Nothing seemed to work for me and I new there had to be something else I could do. I then found out I was becoming insulin resistant and new something had to be done. My doctor told me about lapband and I was very interested right away. I was at the time only 17 years old but slowly started to go through the motions of starting my journey to surgery. Dr. Ku and the team at the Weight Management Center at Reading hospital helped me along the way. I am currently 18 and had the lapband surgery on February 23, 2010. It has only been about 3 weeks since my surgery. I'm doing great! I have not gotten sick off of anything and have been trying many new foods. I have been walking and trying to stay busy. Im a college student going to nursing school and only missed one week of classes. I have lost 8 lb. since my surgery and I'm very excited to see what the future has in store for me!
