Hello, My name is Candice. I was banded on May 7, 2010. I do not regret getting it at all. I should have did it a long time ago. I've struggled with my weight since I was 8 years old. It took my two years to decide if the lap band was for me. And I'm glad I chose to get it. As I become smaller, I am loving my life even more than I already do. As I get smaller, the world gets bigger for me. They're so many things in life that I have missed out on because of my insecurities of my weight. I was 320lbs before I got my surgery, and now I am 275lbs. My goal is 180lbs. I want to be smaller,but I still want to be curvy too. So my goal by next summer is 180lbs. I've struggled with the exercising and the choices in food I chose to eat. But I am back on my exercising and eating the right foods. Sometimes it is hard to break those bad habits that got me in this situation in the first place. But I am learning. Now I am back on track, and no looking back.
