Hi my name is kristi and i have been over weight my whole life. Deciding to have weight loss surgery was not easy for me,but i know at 384 lbs. That something had to be done. At my biggest I was over 400 lbs. In 2000 I had lost a lot of weight and got under 275 lbs. but then I got pregnant with twins and gained about 80 lbs. and then close to 50 more after giving birth. My husband has been trying to get me to have the surgery for about 6 years but the gastric bypass scared me to death. It all came to a head when my 5 year old daughter came home from school crying because she was convinced that I was going to die. She was learning about good nutrition and they talked about obesity and how it leads to heart attacks and just knew I was going to die.
From that moment I started investigating weight lose surgeries and decided to have the lap band procedure. I had the procedure done on September 4th 2007.
