I started struggling with my weight when I was a senior in high school.  Up until my senior year I was involved in multiple sports so my emotional eating did not affect me.  When I graduated from high school in 91' I was 5'2" and weighed around 200.  I moved to Las Vegas to live with my Mom and slowly started to lose a little.  In Jan 93' wanted to enlist in the Navy and they told me in order to enlist I would have to get down to 145.  I was on a mission and by May of 93' I lost the weight and left for boot camp.  Over the next 7 years I went through a lot of emotional crap and again my weight slowly increased.  This time I was up to 220.  Depressed, heavy and now going through a divorce I moved back home to start my life over.  Over the next 10 years my weight was up and down.  Never dropping below 175, at my heaviest I was at 235 and knew that I had to do something.  I saw some pics of a friend of mine who lives in Nebraska and asked her how she lost so much weight.  She told me she had the lap band surgery and that is when I decided to look into it.  I went to the information seminar the 1st week of August 2010 and had my surgery on Sept 21 2010...
