I can't believe that a few years ago I couldn't see a future. I was very ill, hypertension,per-diabetic,bone issues and my back was hurting constantly. There was days when I couldn't get out of bed, my friends and family would visit me at my bedside. I would get pajamas for presents. I got fitted for orthopedic shoes and had braces on my legs and at one point I had to have cast on both legs. Things didn't look good cause after all this I was diagnosed with COPD, a chronic lung disease. I was in and out of hospitals on a monthly basis, then it happened, most of my illness was weight related at a weight of 283, I knew something had to happen. I got approved for WLS, the lap band,in Nov 2012, my life changed. I am 58 to 60 pounds down, I am exercising 4 to 5 times a week, I am 6 sizes down. I can walk, ride a bike, and play with my grandchild on the floor! I even do yoga! I am couple of years away for 50 and I feel great! I will be fabulous at fifty!!!!!!
