Well I guess I should start at the beginning.  I have been a very unhappy fat person for a long time.  I gained 50 plus pounds both pregnancys and did not loose a pound of that and then had post partum depression (I cant understand why)  Anyways I had a doctor tell me one time that he would get a second mortgage on his house if he was that obese.  Well that hit home and I mulled it over for a  year and decided to go for it, no I didnt get a second mortgage on my home I went with care credit.  The credit was incredible easy to get and I had no problems.  I had lap band surgery and I have never regreted it, not even when I hurt or throw up from eating too much I am so happy I cant believe it.  I weighed 280lbs when I had the surgery and as of today I weigh 202 I so cant wait to see 199!  Anyways I have had no complications except maybe a few plateaus that have been fixed by getting off my butt and exercising!  Anyways I suggest to anyone thinking of this surgery to go for it!  The results in my body and attitude have been miraculous!  Thank you God for a safe journey so far and Dr. Gibbs for doing a great job.
