Christa J.
Hi All,
My name is Christa, I have struggled with my weight I would say since college. I was a skinny teen, active in sports, loved activity and then went to college. Yup, that and nursing school was what did me in. I looked to food for comfort instead of other healther activities.
I have a very supportive husband and I would say what made my final decision is when he came back from FLETC and looked awesome and here I was 100 pounds overweight. I was so embarrsed of who I had become that I didin't want to meet his new friends or go out in public. The last straw was when I was balled up in the bath tub balling my eyes out and he came to me and said lets do WLS. There wasn't even water in the bath tub=). I am slowly learning not to associate food with being happy, it has been an obstacle, but I am getting there. I had lap band done 11/13/07 and have been on my journey since then. I would love to connect with others that also have had lap band surgery and discuss their triumphs and defeats.
