I was always a little overweight. i went on Phen-Phen my freshman year in High School and lost about 80 lbs down to about 130lbs. I kept it off during H.S. because of band and working a p/t job I stayed really busy. After H.S. I got married and packed on about 70lbs (wieght was 200) and my x-spouse was very critical of the weight. After my divorce I went to the gym 5-6 days a week and ate salads and veggies mostly and got the weight back under control to a weight of about 160 lbs. I then moved to GA and started a new career and went to College part-time and did not have time to execise but 1-2 times a week so the weight piled back on and I ballooned to about 230 lbs. I moved to FL in 2005 and met my soul mate in 2006. Since Chris and I have married I have increased my weight to 283 which is my current weight today. While living in GA I was looking into this surgery until a good friend of mine had the Gastric Bypass done. He weighed around 400lbs and he died from complications of this surgery. It really scared me and I didn't look into the surgery again until my Best Friend T.C. had the LapBand procedure in 09/2006. She has done exceptionally well loosing down to w/in 10 pounds of her goal weight in a year. I am very anxious and excited and my surgery date is 10/23/07!
