I had started gaining weight after the birth of my two daughters in which i had c-sections. I tried over the years with numerous diets trying to lose the weight in which i had some success but not much. Right after the birth of my second daughter i was diagnosed with high blood pressure and at the age of 34 i was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and fatty liver disease, i was devasted especially knowing that if i did'nt do something about this problem soon that eventually my two girls would be growing up without a mother and my husband without a wife. At this time when i was diagnosed in 06 my weight was at 293lbs. In December of of 2006 is when i started looking into the lapband surgery, i had started out at one of the best practices in the state of North Carolina and had everything done that included my physical work up and the preop diet which i had went from 293 lbs down to 276. I eventually ended up going to another practice because of the lack of professionalism from the doctor and his staff. A year and a half later is when my family doctor recommended me to carteret surgical Dr. John Johnson he is excellent. I had my lapband surgery on May 5th 2010 and my starting weight was 271 lbs, i've lost 11 pounds since the surgery and feeling wonderful. On my way to a new healthier me and life.
