My name is Amy. I have been overweight my whole life. I don't remember when my weight led up to over 200 lbs, but in highschool I averaged  230ish. I swam 3 hours a day and lifted weights to  maintain my weight. At that age I wasn't taught proper nutrition and portion sizes. I knew with all of my physical activity though I needed to eat alot so I wouldn't pass out. After highschool I met and fell in love with my now husband. I maintained my weight through the first 9 months of our relationship but in May of 2007, I had an emergency appendectomy. This was where I lost control. I ballooned 50 lbs after the surgery and haven't been able to reduce my size significantly since. July 26th I took the first step toward my Lap Band surgeryJuly 28th I was approved by my insurance  August 3rd I have my surgeon meet and greet and am setting my surgery date!
