My turning point was when I hit the scale at 227lbs.  At 5'0, 32 yrs old, with high blood pressure, depression and GERD I had to make a decission that was right for me.  I've tried numerous diets with no outcome other than a lousey 8lbs here and there.  I watched a neighbor and a co-worker lose their weight after having their Lap~Band surgery and gave great thought to what I wanted.  After attending an informational meeting I knew that the Band was right for me.  And so I started on my journey.  My first initial weigh in, on January 25, 2010, I was 226lbs.  On the day of my surgery, April 27, 2010, I weighed in at 202lbs.  My weight loss has been very graduale and I feel fantastic!!  To date I am at 169lbs, and in a ladies/juniors size 11/12!!  I have learned that what I had was an eating disorder and learned to correct it with eating properly and healthy.  This is the best decission I could have ever made for myself!!
