THE DAY MY LIFE CHANGED
I was 425 pounds and on all kinds of medication for Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc. "I HAD TO DO SOMETHING OR I WAS GOING TO DIE." That was what my doctor said. The first step in my journey was to quit smoking after 23 years of three packs a day. Over a year later now - I have managed to dodge that demon and have not smoked since January of 2006. Then I knew I had to have weight loss surgery. Every time I tried to "diet" before now I have failed, so the Lap Band was for me.
I am just starting out. It has been two months since my surgery and I have only had one fill. I am a work in progress, but I know one thing - I WILL NOT, CANNOT, GO BACK TO THE WAY I WAS. Currently I am 90 pounds lighter and losing.
