Pre op 246/ most current 172.5

How do I start with my story?? lol

 

OK - I was not always overweight... was a very skinny kid and teen.... I started gaining weight in my early twenties, and all my doctors we stumped as to why. I gained close to 80 pounds in one year alone! I started thinking about WLS about 3 or 4 years ago... and really started looking into it in 2004.... I had started the process of getting insurance approval for RNY in 2005, but lost my patience with the insurance company... but kept the idea in my head.. I changed insurance companies for 2006. By this time Dr. Ben-Meir had started doing the Lap Band. I felt more comfortable with the Lap band, so I researched it... the plussed outweighed the plussed for RNY (for me).. so I went ahead with getting insurance approval... I was approved within days of submitting! I am happy that I have had this surgery...

I am sure all of us know what it is like to be overweight... feeling run down all the time, embarassed to go shopping... hard time tying shoes, etc. Add to that, everyone compaired me to my younger self... I was having a hard time even liking myself as an obese person.... I just did not respect myselfor love myself... how could I expect my husband to love me, if I could not love myself??? (but he did!)

Now, I still have a ways to go, but my outlook has improved! I know what I have done has been the best thing for me health wise.... mentally and physically!
