My story is typical, been overweight (over 200lb. mark) since my first child was born 17 years ago.  Of course I yo-yo dieted all them years too.  I was never afraid to exercise but I LOVED to eat.  I mean a lot too.  I would consume 3000-5000 calories a day.  It's amazing I wasn't over 300 lbs. the way I ate.  I topped out at 246 lbs.  I ate Mcdonalds 2-3 times a day. I work at Jefferson Regional hospital in surgery and 3 of our general surgeons started performing the Lap-Band procedure.  So I checked into it and did my research and had the procedure done in April 2008.  Two years later I have lost an amazing 99 lbs. and dropped 8 pant sizes.  I was squeezing into a size 20 and now I'm a size 6!Having the Lap-Band was the most wonderful thing I have ever done for myself.
