I'm a 28-year-old wife of my high school sweetheart, and Mommy to two beautiful little girls, ages 7 & 4. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I reached my highest weight in September of 2010, at 375 pounds. Verging on heart failure and suffering with atrial fibrillation, I decided to take my life back. Lap-band is helping me to accomplish just that! I'm off the heart failure medicine, and my atrial fibrillation has been in remission for three months. I am able to be a better wife and a better mother. I love my band, and I love my life!
