After 2 years of contemplating and another year of prep, I will finally be having the band surgery. I have been overweight since the day I was born and it definitely has taken a toll on my body physically and mentally. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid when I was 16, PCOS when I was 19 and have had high blood pressure since I was 18. Also in the mean time developed 2 herniated discs in my lower back along with sciatica. Enough was enough when a wonderful doctor happened to discover I had Hashimotos disease possibly creating it all. No wonder all the dieting wasn't working for me alone. I thank my stars everyday for getting the opportunity to finally see what I would look like thin. There's a whole new person waiting to be revealed and I'm the most nervous of them all to see!
