[size=1][font=comic sans ms,sans-serif][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][size=2][color=#800080][font=georgia,serif][b][size=4]Banded in August of 2008, I progressed slowly at first, but after 2 years, was 15 lbs away from my goal weight. I contrated strep throat and ended up "slipping" my band throughout the course of that illness. Since then I have backslid and put other things ahead of my weight loss. I turned 36 this year. My gift to myself was a recommitment to me. I quit smoking (92 days ago) and now that I have that addiction kicked, it's time to lose this weight for good! I had my first fill in 2 years today (7/31/12) and I know I'm ready to do this!!! Other than that, I have 3 great kids Matt (13), Owen (9) and Katelyn (6). I've been marriend to my DH for 14 years. I am a labor and delivery nurse and a full-time student. That's pretty much it, if you want to know anything, ask! [/size][/b][/font][/color][/size][/font][/font][/size]
