Hi I am just a country girl that was overweight for the last 10 yrs. My Doctor and I tried everything we knew to try to get the weight off. After many Doctor visits we discovered I have a very low functioning thyroid, along with hypertension, and high chloesterol. Although I would drop a few pounds it seemed to come right back and even double amounts. I was a walking time bomb. I began to doubt I would make it just doing life on a daily bases. It is very hard for a 5ft. female to carry 210lbs around on a small frame eachday. I had read about the Lap-Band surgery in books, seen it on tv, and even had a family member to have it done. His results were remarkable. I finally decided to have it done March 2010 and have never looked back. I feel great!!!!!
