I was over weight most my life but when I was in my teens I started to loose and was about 160lbs then I had my first child at 16. After that I just started to go up and up and up and I also had another child at 18 and that didn't help either. Now at 26 I was almost 300lbs and had several health issues including sleep apnea, asthma, abnormal menstrual & extreme back pain and the list goes on. I was afraid that if i continued this way of life I wasn't going to live much longer and the hardest thing would be to no see my children grow up. So to make a long story no so long I decided to have the Lap Band and do away with my fear of surgery. Before the surgery I was worried that because I'ma picky eater that it wouldn't work or that I wouldn't stick to the correct eating habit but all worked out and I'm doing great. I am so glad that I decided to do it and would do it over and over again if needed. I have my life back and can feel like a 26 year old again instead of a 60 year old. Life's too short to not live it to its fullest.
