Sparkles71

I was always heavy and never realized how it had effected my self esteem.  I tried every diet and I would do well for a while, lose weight but eventually gain it back and then some.  I needed a life style change.  The lap band was the best choice for me.  I had my surgery in July 2008 and have lost 50 pounds and feel co much better.  To put the 50 pounds in prespective, that is two large Thanksgiving turkeys, now that's a picture!  It has been an adjustment but a positive one in my life.  I am often asked would you do it again and I always say, I would do it again YESTERDAY!  I would like to lose about 20-25 pounds more but for me it has never been a number.  It has been how I feel but most of all I just wanted to buy clothes in a regular store which now I can do.  Thanks lap band!!!
