Weight has been a struggle for me since I was a child. When I went to high school is was tough trying to keep it off. I was very active in cheerleading (of coiurse I was the largest cheerleader) and softball. after marriage, moving all the time (military), and having two children the weight inched it's way back to my body. Getting fed up with not being able to lose it I got great encouragement from my sister in law. She suggested the lap band (she ahd it done and she looks amazing). I started the process in Germany carried it over to our new base in AK. Doc on Eielson AFB, put me in for a referral right away. Saw Dr. Searles on the June 1st. Got my labs and tests done that second week, got approval on June 29th, having surgery on Aug 1st. I am truly excited to start this journey. If I was capable of doing a cartwheel I would. :)
