My story has been going on for alot of years, about 20.I was not overweight as kid or teen. I did not start gaining weight til after my 3rd child was born and all the book filled drama that came behind.
I have like almost everybody else here tried all kinds of diets out there, from crossing the border [KY that is to me] for miracle pills that soon became health risks. I given myself shots to lose weight to taken several different pills at one time.
It took me several years and several seminars to get the courage to have lap-band surgery 1 year ago May'08.
I made the plunge into a new chapter and new life after hitting highest weight of 401 lbs.
It has definitely changed my life and attitude. I have so much more energy for myself as well as grandkids.
Even though I may not be losing as fast as other surgeries I am proud to say I am smaller than I was last year. I would rather be going down than going up. Hey! Apple Bottom Jeans Here I Come.
