My name is Meg. I am 17 years old. I weigh 245 lbs. I am 5'4", about 5'5". I have been pretty overweight all of my life. I have PCOS which makes me gain weight, and it is harder to get it off. I used to be stick skinny as a kid, and started rapidly gaining weight around 7 years old. I was eating normal and active, but the weight kept piling on. I have tried diets and excersising, but nothing seems to work. I am a senior in high school and dont want to be wearing a size 18 or 20 in a prom dress. I want to look good and not be self conscious about my body. I want to be healthy again and start being myself and not worried about what everyone else thinks. My grandfather got the LAP BAND surgery in January of this year and has seen very good results. That is how we got interested in this procedure. Usually insurance will not cover it unless you are 18 years old. I will be 18 Dec. 1st and am looking to get this surgery soon after. We are starting to get all of the information about this and I hope it goes well so I can finally achieve my dreams of being me.
