DPURNELL
I am 25 years old and just tired of being tired at my age. I am a young Black female who is tired of just being told that I have a pretty face like there is nothing else to me but my pretty face. I don't really have any major health problems except for my asthma and the pain and shortness of breath that I sometimes get. I am basically getting this surgery to help boost my self-esteem. Being overweight for years I tend to be the shy and quiet type letting people take advantage of me at times. I have been dieting on and off for the past 7 years of my life and just got tired of taking diet pills and losing weight and then as soon as I stop taking the pills I gain the weight back and them some. I have tried just about everything. And finally my mom dragged me to a seminar about Lap Band surgery and then my brain started clicking. So after talking with my mom and family I finaly decided after 2 years that this was something I was ready to do. And this is what led me to Dr. Yves Manigat who will be performing my surgery in December of this year.
