I woke up one morning, look in the mirror and didnt recognize myself. I need to make a change. Not just try another diet fade that would last a few months then the weight would be back. I had to do.it for myself but also for my two kids. So at 24 and weighting 318 lbs i got the lapband. My sugery date was may 9 2013. Ive.lost 89 lbs in 8 months. Ive learned to live a little more, play more with my kids and most of all love myself. I still have a long way to go but im loving every minute of it.
