Even though I'm classified as being "Obese", I carry my weight very well. I did this for me and my health. I do not want to end up on medication for something that I could have prevented in the first place. This is the heaviest I've ever been and I knew that something had to be done about my weight.
I realized that I had a problem and decided to have the Lap Band to assist me in solving my problem. Surgical procedures are not quick fixes. They are not easy. I have had no complications at all, but I also work very hard so that I won't have any. I suggest anyone that is thinking of having weight loos surgery, take a long thought about it. Make sure your mind is prepared for this; if not, you will be in the same or even worst shape you were in at the beginning. This is another opportunity for all of us to start fresh, learn from our mistakes and seize the new day embarking. Once given this new life, never look back!
Once I understood that food was my companion, I decided to divorce food and make it a tool. Food should only be used as a mean for survival and not as a companion. There are hobbies, people, ministries, etc that are waiting for someone like you and I. Get out there and mingle and enjoy what life has to offer.
May God bless you all and hang in there, WE CAN DO IT!!!!
