I have always been a medium size girl. I weighed around 135lbs most  of my adulthood. Then I got pregnant with twins in 2007. I had a boy/girl twins on September 15, 2008. I gained over 100lbs with the pregnancy. I was optimistic that I would lose the weight over time. Well I did not, my twins are now 2 years old, and I have struggled to get the weight off. I had tried all kinds of different diets. Atkins, herbalife,even went on Phentermine. I finally talked with a friend who I had not seen in a long time. She had gotten the lap band, and had lost over 80lbs. So I decided after several weeks of research, to go for it. My insurance would not cover it unfortunately. I met every criteria, but one. I had to prove I have been overweight, for more than 5 years. Well, I could not. So I paid alot of money, but I am happy, and on my way to a new skinnier, healthier me.
