I've not been on this board in a long time. I've been out of touch with my band, so to speak. I had my surgery in March 2009, lost over 50lbs, and then go pregnant. I had to have my band loosened because I was throwing up alot during my pregnancy. I gave birth to a sweet little boy in Feb 2010. I've since not had my band tightened back up and gain more than what I had lost. I am now at a point where I'm mad at myself, and tired of being tired. I'm at my highest weight I've ever been in my entire life. I've got an appt with Dr. Morton on Wednesday to have my band filled. I'm ready to get back my life. I've got 3 kids that need me and I need my energy! I don't know if any of you remember me or not... but I really need all the help I can get, to get back into the swing of things.

My Story

I have always been overweight as fas back as I can remember. I was always active though, so I don't know why I was so heavy. I was in dance classes, girl scouts, and fast pitch softball. As I got older my BMI got higher and higher. And it really topped out after I had my 2nd child. I have to admit though, my kids are worth everything. Which is why I want to take care of myself so I can be there for them for as long as I can. I don't want to be the mom sitting on the bench watching. I want to be the mom running around with them and cheering them on! My health over the past 2 years has gotten bad. I'm really scared. I don't sleep well, had a sleep study, but don't have sleep apnea so we are trying to figure this out. I have high blood pressure, PCOS, high cholesterol, and heart palpatations. I think it's time I DO SOMETHING to get healthier.
