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!
