Newly banded

Well for my first blog i suppose ill start with my story. I was always a little on the chunky side but nothing crazy.. it wasnt until i got pregnant after highschool and gained 100lbs that i had a serious problem. When i gave birth in the hospital i was 260lbs. I couldnt believe it! and whats harder to belive is that after every diet and losing 50-60 lbs twice, i still somehow managed to go back to 260lbs. I felt disgusting and i was depressed. Its been 7 years now and i felt that i needed to make serious changes to be around for a long time and watch my son grow up. I made the decision to get the lap band, knowing it was probably my last resort and i would like to look amazing for my 10 year class reunion next year! (not to mention to be healthier!)

wish me luck! <3 :smile:
