I was never really heavy growing up. I weighed around 150-160 my senior year of high school. It was when I got pregnant with my first child that I packed on the pounds. I gained 50 pounds. I was in a very unhappy marriage so I never felt the need to lose it. I got pregnant again 2years later and had gained another 30 pounds by then. I got divorced then had the baby and by then weighed 250. I was able to lose back down to 235 in a month. I started smoking (ya I know bad habit). I then got remarried and was happy for the first time in a long time. So of course when your happy you tend to gain weight. I gained up to 265 and then I decided to quit smoking. I gained another 50 pounds. I was all the sudden at 300 pounds and very unhappy. I stopped weighing my self cuz as we all know some scales stop at 300. Mine did. I started feeling like I was stuck in a body that didnt work anymore. I couldnt breath anymore when I tied my shoes( that became difficult). The next time i got on a scale i weighed 332. I was floored. I knew I needed to do something. Of course I didnt have insurance. I heard of a finacing option that was just for the lap-band. By calling 1-800-lap-band I was able to secure financing. I was going to buy a new life. So I jumped in with both feet and got it done. I thank god every day for my surgon because he changed my life forever. I can do so many things again that i was not able to do. I can run, tie my shoes (without undoing my pants), sleep better, sex is way better, I have more energy, Fit in my car better(stomach does not touch steering wheel),Necklaces fit, I can wear regular clothes again(not plus size). I know i have only lost 93 pounds so far but I feel like its 150. I will get below 200 I just know it.
