To put it simply,I am so tired of being fat! For the last 15 years of my life I have been overweight.  Yeah people tell me I am attractive but its just a nice way of saying you are a pretty fat girl.  In addition to improving my looks, I want to improve my health.  The last straw was when my doctor told me I had become a diabetic.  That was it for me, I was contemplating surgery for over a year and with that news I decided to go through with the surgery and my doctor agreed.  After years of yo-yo dieting I met with more that one surgeon before deciding on using Dr. Vohra for surgery.  In April 2009 I had lapband surgery and have lost some weight before and after surgery following the recommended diet and exercise program prescribed.  I hope to be a success story one day and help others as well. My motto is for every action there is a reaction....so I am dedicated to making wise choices not matter how difficult.  At times I dont follow my own advice but I jump right back into the race.  I want to be a role model for my lovely daughters and others struggling with weight loss.
