My Journey...

Aug 04, 2010

Hi, My name is Rachel.
I am starting this journey on 8/03/2010 weighing in at 265lbs.
I am in the process of finding a surgeon that accepts my insurance.
I am 28 years old and have been significantly overweight for the past 7 years or so.
I have tried so many diets/diet pills nothing working so I have decided to get banded and I am very excited to start this journey to being me again, being healthy for me and my children.
It recently hit me hard when I took my kids to an amusement park and I couldn't fit into the roller coaster seat it was so embarrassing and not to mention trying to walk all over the park. I decided right then no more I have to do something that's going to work.
I have researched everything I can find on the Lap band and decided it's for me!
I put in calls today to my primary care doctor and to a surgeon so hopefully this week I can get this started, I believe I am a great candidate for the surgery. I am 5'6'' 265lbs and BMI of 42.6. WOW! I have never wrote that for anyone to see but that's what this is about me realizing the truth and what I can do about it for good!
So OK there it is the start of my journey!!
