Hello my name is Rebecca and I am 28 years old.

I have struggled with my weight since 6Th grade.

It was so bad that in gym class everyone wanted me to be on there team when it involved the roller chairs, because nobody could lift me off my scooter :tt1:

I have been married since 2001 and my husband is wonderful :tt1:.

He supports me in whatever I want to do including Lap Band.

We have 2 wonderful daughters, a 6 yr old and a 2 yr old. :tt1:

I have a free seminar on Nov 19 to see if I qualify.

I am 5 ft 5 and 255 lbs :smile2: (I sure hope I do)

Is there anyone else out there that is in my situation?

At almost 50th, I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Was even 8 lbs when I was born. Largest baby my mother birth. At 5'2", I was weighing 250 and now am at 185. Since the surgery and weight lost, I feel better and no longer taking all the meds, I was having to take like the dieabetes medicines. It has been worth every penny it cost me and even though things still get stuck and cause me heartache, I would do it again in a heart beat. Hope everything works out for u.
