Here goes "My Story"..... it's going to be short and sweet! I turned 44 in March, am 5'4 and my starting weight was 245 pounds! I am married to a wonderful man, and have one child living at home. I had Lap Band surgery on Tuesday, June 26 2007.
I have had a serious weight problem for the past 10 years! I'm tired (correction, was tired) of not really living, not really enjoying life, not participated in activities, and being embarrassed about my size. Each year I was getting bigger/heavier and it seems like every couple of months am getting a little more achy (backache, ankles, legs etc.). I was feeling more in my 90's than in my 40's!
I just want to be happy, healthy and positive! I'm thankful to God that He's given me the resources to have the WLS. I'm thankful that my Hubby is my best friend and biggest supporter in all I do! I just want to humbly succeed in this fight to get my weight under control. I'm not looking to be a "Beauty Queen", just normal is all I ask!
