New And Ready !!

I am a mother of 2 beautiful daughters and a wife to a wonderful husband. I am 42 yr old and weigh 252. I dont feel "fat" or I should say I didnt feel like that until I saw a picture of myself sitting in a chair on a fishing trip :( . I had kidney cancer in 2004 and had to have my right kidney removed. I have a few cyst that come and go on my pancreas ( not cancer) , and this is when I decided that I want to have the lap band done and get my weight and health in control. I have been through alot during the past 10 yrs. I lost my brother in 06 and then my mother committed suicide in 2011. I have been over weight for probably 20 yrs or so . I decided that I WANT TO LIVE!!! so here I am :) about to have the lap band done on Sept 12 with Dr. Adam Smith. wish me luck and good luck to you as well and GOD BLESS :)
