Like most of you, I have always been classified as husky, chunky, thick, big bone, etc. Being overweight for most of my life soon became the norm for me. So, I just lived my life loving me for me and had no problems as long as there was a Layne BryantJ But the older I became, the more my health became effected by my weight. The older I became, the wiser I became about how HTN, diabetes, and high Cholesterol were going to be the death of me, the thing that would take me away from my children to soon.
So, I attempted several diets and spent enormous amounts of monies trying to lose weight. To no avail, I failed, the diet failed, heck, I just got hungry again. One day, I took a philosophical look at the Lap Band, and decided that this could be what I needed to help me achieve my goal of being healthier and potentially living longer.
I am so thankful that everything came together at the appointed time. My surgery was on 05/30/08. Everything went well and I don’t have any regrets. I am looking forward to this journey and I know that with God on my side, everything will work out fine.
