Hi My name is Amanda and I have been overweight all my life.I am a type 1 diabetic and I am tired of feeling tired all the time. I plan to have surgery next month and I am very scared of eating after it. My mother had the lap band and gain all her weight back . So I am scared I willnot have the will power and be just like her . I am excited to be able to do things that I cant do now. I want to be able to run in the back yard with kids. And to be able to buy clothes at stores and they FIT ! Thanks for reading !!!!
