My story is just like the majority of women that I have read about in their struggle with obesity. I was never skinny but I also was never obese...I was a mere overweight. However, after the birth of my second son I became morbidly obese. I have always struggled with my weight because I lack the discipline to exercise properly and I have an extraordinary love of food. Does this sound familiar to anyone? 
I will be having the lap band surgery and I am scared to death for so many reasons...primarily "what if this doesn't work?" "What if it works too well and I am never able to enjoy any of the foods that I like?" "What if my skin looks terrible?
I think I must be scared of success, because I know in my heart of hearts that this surgery will be life changing for me and for my health. Everything else will fall into place...so I just keep putting one foot in front of the other until the surgery is complete and I arrive at my goal weight of 140 lbs. May God be with me on my journey.
