2B me

I'm from San Antonio, Tx in March of 2009 I decided to get a handle on my weight. I have always been heavy even in high school I was 153, however, every active did track and shot put had a BMI of 25 according to my doctor at the time "It's all muscle there's nothing to worry about." Yeah right!! 2 wonderful kids and 20 years later I finally looked in the mirror in shock and disgusted. I decided right then that if I wanted to live to see my children get married and watch their children grow something had to drastically change. I tried it on my own one or two pounds here and there, just to gain it back again. So the next step to look into surgery. At first I didn't tell my husband of 22 yrs what I was thinking, in fear he might talk me out of it somehow. When I decided surgery was for me I told him. At first I wanted bypass surgery then with further research I decided lap band was a better fit for me. So here I am 20 lbs down and a lot more to go. I am looking forward to the journey.
