I suppose my entire life has been leading me to this point; to finally be encouraged to take the necessary step in being successful in reaching my weight loss goals. I've always felt like a failure in this area, and I am facing this truth with courage and with faith that I will finally be a success story. My weight loss efforts are too numerous to convey, but I will admit the most aggressive action I took was having Lap Band surgery in 2006. This was a complete failure that left me ashamed and broken. Of course, I kept a smile on my face and pushed these feelings down and kept on moving until my doctor gave me the most eye-opening information after performing surgery in Dec 2011 - My band was not connected!! I was happy to know that all of those wasted fills that never worked, all of the diets that always left me heavier finally had an explanation. Whew! [/b][/font][/size][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=2][color=#008000][size=4][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][b]Fast forward to June 2013 - I had my Lap band removed. HALLELUJAH! I am feel lighter. It's hard to explain, but I really feel better. Other than healing from the open wound the port has left - I do feel better! Jesus is good all the time.[/b][/font][/size][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=2][color=#008000][size=4][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][b]I am now in the process of scheduling my RNY for later this year. Hopefully in 3 months. I will be sure to update my new RNY Talk family. [/b][/font][/size][/color][/size][/font]
