Hello Everyone, my name is Ebony. I am 22 years old and currently a student at Penn State. I joined this site in order to further my education on the Lap Band System. I have been obese my entire life and now that I am old enough to make my own decisions I want surgery. I have gone to nutritionists, I have been on diets, and at one point I tried starving myself. I recently changed my lifestyle. I have taken full responsibility of my weight, and I began changing my eating habits. I no longer eat beef or pork, and I increased my veggie and fruit intake. I have also began a daily exercise routine and been sticking to it for about a month. After all my hard work, I discovered that I dropped about ten pounds. I had a huge wake-up call after dropping the ten pounds. I saw a picture of myself and I didn't recognize who it was. I just want to finally be happy in my own skin. I want to finally live. I am tired of just existing.
