Blessed2009

Banded 9/11/09.  Struggled with gaining and losing weight over the past 15 years; go harder to keep weight off and it kept increasing.  My highest weight being 185-188.  I had become pretty depressed about my weight.  I did not like to shop any longer and could not find clothes that fit me well (i'm a pear shape).  I want to feel healthy again and energetic once I lose this extra weight.  Have problems with knee joints which affects me when I exercise.  I'm hoping that this condition will improve or go away all together.  I'm looking forward to my new life.
