My story Huh well it goes like this "born fat,grew up fat, still fat and growing".  My life for the most part has been good i really cant complain (except for the whole fat thing )but i beleive if i could get some of this weight off it would be a whole lot better for me. I have very supportive people around me who love me for me and thats all I ask. Last year i was looking into haveing lap band surgery and found this site i think its wonderful full of information ,and lots of sweet and caring people with a lot of diffrent backgrounds and views. I got discouraged when i found out the insurance at my job at the time didnt cover lap band so I just put it on the back burner but a year later ,new job, new insurance, new hope heres my journey ........ :)
