Pre-band weight loss history

[vessa 1]

I lost 110 pounds in a year by starving and compulsivley exercising (while in a rehab for other stuff). Kept it off for a year, and then got in bad car wreck and totally messed up my ankle. Couln't walk right for months, always will be damaged... I gained 173 pounds in a year and 1/2. Total depression, went to food addiction after drug addiction to deal with chronic pain. I still have bad arthritis in foot (im 26) and bad weather or too much exercise hurts real bad, but doesn't stop me. I am 10 pounds away (about) from the "fat I never would be again". Can't wait. This is life, if you can do it, DO IT!

Fortunately I kept off the 30 lbs I lost before being banded. Probably because I actually got the band. My top weight was 320 and I was banded at 282.
