I am not sure where to begin, I guess my story is not unlike most everyone's. I have been over weight most of my life. I gained allot more when I quit smoking about 7 years ago and am steadily going up and up!!! So I decided to check out the Lap Band Surgery. I have known a few people to have the bypass and 1 who had the band and they say they wouldn't change a thing, and they are so happy with the decision to have WLS. So here I am at the beginning of my journey. I am 33, 5'2 and 227 lbs. I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for and together we have 6 girls, 1 grandchild and another on the way (due on Dec. 7th)  I don't have a specific weight goal to get to right now, I guess I just want to be able to do the things I used to and not feel so self concious  all the time and to be a healthier person for my Kids and my Husband.
