As a kid i was always overweight.Even in my family i was always the biggest one in the family.Being overweight was really hard on me.Emotionnaly and mentally.In high school i was about 150 lbs but after a really bad breakup in 2006 i became really depressed and gained alot of weight.It was hard to shop and buy close.In the end my knees were always hurting and my back also.I tried some many diets and programs and private trainners at the gym.I spent about 10 000$ trying all these things and in the end i kepted on gaining weight and feeling more sad.In 2009 i was 22 and still in school.I started looking up wls.And i found a dr in mtl.Watched a couple of video on youtube about lap band and gastric bypass.In january 2010 i had my first appointement with the surgeon.And i felt like the lab band was a better choice for me since i wanted kids later in life.Knowing that i could get a complete unfill and eat really good while being pregnant was important to me.I had no money saved up for the surgery.I got it financed with the help of my mother who co-signed the loand.

I month before surgery i finnaly had the courage to tell my bf that i was getting operated for wls.At that it was a year that we were together and i guess i was afraid to tell him since i did not know how he would react to wls. He understood and was ok with my decision.
Highest weight 212 lbs. April 20th 2010 surgery day. 199.6 lbs.And my new life began. 1 year surgerversary i was at 138 lbs.And now am at 148.6 lbs.I know i gained a little and i'am trying real hard to lose it again. I know what i need to do and that`s exercise.I strated in sept 2012 this year doing one a week a swimming exercise class.So it's a beginning.

Thank you for reading my story.
