I don't really have a "story". I have struggled with gaining & losing weight all of my life. The heaviest that I have ever been is 277lbs. I wasn't even that heavy when I was pregnant. I used to be able to lose weight even though I yo-yo'd quite often. But once I turned 35 things changed. I wasn't able to lose the weight as easily. My arthritis had gotten really bad and my blood pressure had become unpredictably high. I tore my rotator cuff last year and the pain from the repair surgery seemed to be worse than the injury itself. Nothing I seemed to do was helping with the weight loss effort and if I didn't do something I was at risk for diabetes and other stuff. So, I started this Lap-Band journey and here I am.
