My story probably matches many of your stories! I grew up as a fat child and was made fun of for years and endured all the lonliness and horrors of being an outcast. On May 20, 2008 I was given the gift of a lap band 
at the Burlington MA Lahey Clinic!! An answer to prayer - a miracle - Christmas Day for me. The surgery and recovery went beautifully and I was so very excited and happy. I lost weight quickly and got down to 142 lbs with only 20 lbs to my goal......and then I discovered that I could eat sweets! I started off slowly and progressed to large amounts of sugary junk and gained 17 lbs. My size went up and my confidence has gone down. I need help and encouragement. I want to get back to eating healthy. I need your help! Thank you.
