Chi2Indy

I moved to Indianapolis 5 years ago from Chicago, I knew no one here other than my husbnd so my active life in Chicago that I had became very sedatary, I started gaining weight slowing and tried multiple diets. I changed my ating habits, I even got a gym membership and hired a personal trainer but the weight I would lose would then come back 10 fold. I had a child in 2008 my first and  had lost  the baby weight and then some but the next thing you know the pounds came back with a vengence. I've never been an over eater in fact i eat one big meal a day bad I know. Well with the combonation of all of this I went from 140 lbs to 260lbs within 5 years. I have no energy, constant back pain and knee pain from standing or walking for periods of time, sleep apena, and I cant keep up with my 1 year old son and my husband and want more children but I just can't with this weight on me. So my doctor decided that he would refer me for the lap band surgery because he started to notices a lot more back pain, depresson and constant weight gain that might lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholestorol etc. I had went to the 1st lap ban seminar nervous and with a prayer in my heart that there is something out there that can help me keep the weight off. So now this is were my weight lose battle begins and end.
