Hello All!
My name is Toni, I'm 35, and I'm sick and tired of being a prisoner in my own body. I'm tired of my back and knees hurting, getting winded just walking around, and not being able to keep up with my twin sons. At some point in time, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. My turning point came when I realized I was being a hypocrite in my massage therapy practice. How on earth could I tell my clients to drink water, stretch, meditate and watch their stress levels??? Who was going to listen to a 5'3" 267lb overweight therapist. I worked very hard for my career, and I feel like I need to take the same amount of care of myself that I'm insisting my clients take of themselves.
I've been researching the Lap-band for about 3 years now and I am beyond excited to be able to get this tool. I want to return to my former active self. When my sons see pictures of me skateboarding and surfing, they look at me like "Mom, what happened!" They are both into skateboarding and I can't wait to take their boards and show them what their mom is really made of LOL!!!! I've been reading a lot of the post on here and they have helped answer plenty of my questions. I've noticed that the people on here are loving and caring with great senses of humor. Just the kind of people I want to be associated with. Wish me luck in my losses and I wish you plenty of loss as well :)
