My story is really no differnt than anybody elses that is here. I need to lose weight. I actually have not been overweight all of my life just the last 19 years of it. I didnt have a problem with my weight until I had my children, gaining over 80lbs each time and not losing in between. I decided to have lapband surgery because I had tried so many times before to lose weight only to put the weight back on and than some. Im hopeing that this surgery will be the tool I need to change my life once and for all. This time it is not going to be a diet that I go on but a life style change that I have to make, not only for myself but also for my children. I have begun to develop high blood pressure and with my family history of heart problems I fully know whats to come if I dont do something about it now. Im not going to lie to myself and say that my wanting to lose weight is all about health reasons, I also want to look and feel good. I went back to school to get my degree but now I find that I dont have the confidence that is needed to get the job that I deserve. So here I am starting a journey that Im determined that Im not going to fail at. There is no way Im going to go thru the process of having surgery only to stay the same person that I was before. I decided that I wanted to start this journal kind of as a way to keep myself on track. I want to beable to come here and post positive updates for others who are ahead of me in this journey and for those who maybe just considering having lapband surgery. We'll see how it goes!!
