Gosh, where do I begin??

I am now uhummm, 41.  I am mommy to a 21 year old son and 20 month old twins (son/daughter).  Wife to an incredible man who is more than supportive.  He is already planning my plastic surg for a tummy tuck!  hahahaha

  I have been over weight like this for about 20 years now.  Like all of you, many diets and many failures.  As soon as I read about this Lap Band procedure being done, I have been on the phone calling my local doc here to see if he was doing it yet.  "No" was all I was getting for so long.  FINALLY.... he was doing it but my insurance would not cover it.  Then I got a second insurance that covered but he stopped taking that insurance. .... Typical, huh! 
  Well, now all is accepting in all directions!

I have begun my 3 month supervised diet .  It was cut to 3 due to diabetes and a couple other weight related problems.
Makes no sense to me.  I have been on a good program for 1 year and 1 week and lost 30 pounds exactly but gained back 5 pounds .....  But it was not supervised by a doc!  This bites!

Well, I am 240 exactly and am 5'7" tall with a BMI of 38.   I wear a 22-24 in all clothing.  As you know, it depends on how it is made as to the size.

I am excited about this procedure and feel it cannot happen fast enough! 


WHAT I WANT TO DO IN A SKINNY BODY ..............  not in order ... just things I want.
1.  wear fitting jeans with a WHITE shirt, tucked in with a belt!
2.  Run and play with my twins and not be worried about someone laughing at me because they see a "fat woman" running"
3.  Undress with the lights on in front of my husband.
4.  Actually enjoy sex without being embarrassed
5.  Be able to take photos with getting on the ground and up without struggling.(I am a photographer)
6.  Do a strip tease for my husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7.  Get on the dance floor and dance all night long without a second thought of being looked at because I am fat!
