Hello everyone my name is Cynthia, And this is my story. I am a wife to a wonderful man, I have been married now going on 9 years and we have two great kids. My oldest is my boy who is 7, my littlest is my daughter who is 2. They are both such a joy to my life. I am a C.N.A and juggle my part time job with my husband and two kids. Needless to say this all keeps me busy.

I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have finally had my Lap-Band surgery. Before my surgery I started out at a weight of 309 at that time I was told by my doctor that I was a diebetic. He then put me on metformin and the Byetta shot. Well, this was great for a little while until the shots kept making me sick all the time. He then pulled me off the shots and I am still taking Metformin. While being on the shots I was lucky enough to get my weight down to 264 I guess that came from being sick all the time. I new  that if I didnt do something more health problems were soon coming. With having two kids I was terrified. I was surching online one night with a friend of mine and she happen to stumble across a web site called belighter.com. Well, needless to say that was the first step to a new life. I contacted them and my journey started from there. It seemed like in no time i was schedualed for surgery and then on the air plane to Mexico. I had my surgery 1/05/07 and am down now to 245. I feel great and can't wait to see the rest come off. My future ahead looks much brighter.
