I was a miserable size 24 who had just returned from a vacation in Hawaii where I had swam with whales. In the vacation photos, at 327 lbs, I felt the size of a whale. I decided that this time I was going to get something done...if the insurance company denied me...I would not rest until that March 15 2006 day when I could beging living the rest of my life. I could not ride on a plane because I took up two seats. I constantly had knee pain, high blood pressure, terribe gastric reflux, and I was constantly tired. My life was changed. I got down to a size 12 but I am back in 14's. I need to get a fill. However, the 327 lb woman is gone forever and I feel great and I love the lap band and how it has given me my life back!My
