Hello, My name is Kim. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 10. My whole life I have been put down, and even treated different because of my weight. My family is pretty much on the leaner side, and me of course not so much. I am 25, years old and weigh about 270. Six years ago, I was in a terrible car accident, and had to have 4 back surgeries. My back is in terrible shape, and the weight don't help anything. About 6 months ago, my orthopedic doctor, sent me to talk to someone about lap band, of course after he said that it was confirmed to me that I was over weight in everone's eyes. I stay depressed because of the weight. I really cant do to much exercise because of my back, believe me if I get this lap-band approved i will fight till the end to make it. Whatever it takes i Will do.
In November, i really was hit hard with my weight. I went to Dollywood, and my daughter who is 6, wanted me to get on a ride with her, the seats looked small , so i want on. I went to get on the ride, and it was fixing to start and they kept yelling a seat number wasn't fasten. Well that seat was me. They kept telling me to push it down,but i couldn't. How embarrassing is this. I told my daughter that i couldn't ride, she said why mommy, by this time i was crying i said ," Mommy is scared so I'm getting off". My mother in-law rode with her. I went to a tree and set down and cried my eyes out. It hurt. Sometimes you really get so depressed that you eat more, and more, and more.
I hope that this will come through for me, with lots of prayers and support it will.
