No big story here. I've been overweight my whole life. Fat baby and everything. Started to gain weight once I got married and it has steadily gone up and up. Lost weight a few times in the marriage, only to...you guessed it, gained it back and more. I was 100 lbs more than my wedding weight when I had my surgery (Lapband).
I decided to finally go ahead with this surgery because I had quite a few friends who have done it, most with astounding success. I had done a lot of work with my inner self and in combination with turning 50, I needed to change up my health and spirit and chose to go ahead with the surgery.
