I just want to start feeling good about my body again.  That's all.

I had the vertical banded gastroplasty (stomach stapling) back in 1987.  I was 19 years old.

I was 312 pounds when I had this surgery and weighed 187 as the lowest weight.  It took me about 2 years to lose this amount of weight and right around the 2 1/2 - 3 year mark I started gaining.

Fast forward ~ 21 years ~ 2008 and I weigh 350.7 pounds.  Wow, just wow!
