I am an identical twin. My sister Stephany and I were about 100 lbs. overweight. She got the lapband surgery done last year. She began her journey at around 270 lbs. At her 1 year surgery anniversary she reached her first goal of 199 lbs.I observed her throughout her year and in the beginning said there is no way I would have lapband surgery. As the months progressed and she eased into her new lifesytle I began to consider it. The main hurdle was my insurance does not cover the surgery (hers did). I was able to get the money to do this so my first appointment is June 25th! I am excited to start my journey and so glad that I have my sister for support and knowledge.
