It all stared in May 2005

After coming back from a trip to Lake Taho for spring break and seeing how "FAT" I looked in all the pictures. I new I need to take a BIG step in doing something about this.

Two of my co-workers had the bad done, 1 in Feb and the other in April. After seeing all the great results they have had in such a short time. I felt this was something I should look into.

After muling this over and over I told my husband David that this was something I wanted to do. He at first was shocked since I always felt it was the lazy way out, but understood that I had changed my mine and gave me all the support I needed to get thur this.

Went to a Gastric Support Group given at the hospital that I worked at. Got on line a read up on the lap band and felt it was the best choice for me.

Made the appt. with Dr. Bass and also felt it was the best choice for my body time.
