Well Im finally gettin around to telling my story.

I have been pretty heavy all my life.But in the last 6 yrs I chunked up pretty good. I met my bf almost 6 yrs ago. Which then I weighed
180 lbs roughly. Well he loved to eat out so I fell right up in there with him. Then I got pregnant. And got bigger.  I have tried all the diets.Loose a few and then stop the diet and gain it back.So seeing myself at 229 lbs biggest I have ever been something had to be done!!

 I started looking into the Lap Band. I was more for that for it didnt seem so permanent. Then came the insurance issue.I have insurance through my employer, So we dont have the obesity rider on our package. So I started looking into the Mexico issue. After several months of research on different doctors. I chose Dr.Aceve's in 
Mexicali, Mx. After that I had to find out how I was gonna pay it. I already had a loan out on my 401 but only owed little back on it.
So I double up some payments. And reborrowed..


So now here I am almost 6 months out and 55 lbs down. Every day is a challege with the band.Some days I hate it and some I can get along with it. If I had to do it over again I would have chose to sleeve in a heartbeart. But I didnt have the extra money for it. But with all the fills and traveling it works out to what I would have pd.
