I am 25 years old, and have three kids. two and a half years ago, I was at the biggest I have ever been in my life. I was depressed, miserable, and my health was going down hill. I couldn't play with my kids at the park or do anything fun because I was to big. I was about ten pounds away from 300 pounds. It was horrifying for me. I struggled with weght most of my teenage and adult life and was sick of it.
In about March of 2009, I decided enough was enough! My sister started talking to me about the Lap Band. I was not sure if it was for me until I researched it. After that I began the process and never looked back. It was the best thing I ever did for my health, my marriage, my children, and my life period. The band was the perfect tool to help me lose weight. I am so in love with life, and my health now. I love being healthy, exercising, and being me again. I slide down the slide with my boys, ride rollercoasters, and so much more. I have come so far and I am honestly proud of myself. I could never stick with anything before, so people thought I would not stick to this. Almost two years later I have!! I even had a baby a few months ago and have gotten most of the weight I gained from being pregnant. I never lost weight after giving birth, I always gained.
I could go on all day about my story, and how much I love the Band and life. But at the end of the day, I did it and I am so happy with that!
