I don't know were to start. Well I've always been unhappy about my weight. I think of the things I've missed out on and wish i took action sooner.I always was a little over weight by about 20lbs.In 1984 i had gallbladder surgery, was in a bad marriage and than turned to food for support. Food was always there for me,never let me down and was a great partner. After my divorce i went to work came home looked after the kids ate and repeated the same everyday. I was 31 and felt i had to be on my own who would want me. By this time i was up to 300lbs and food was my only companion,its so amazing what food replaces in your live.I hated myself and went on a waiting list for gastric bypass. Well 5 years later i was told my doc. no longer would be doing this surgery and my best bet would be to try and get approval to have it done in the states.My kids are all grown up now and I've finally decided to do something for myself. I turned 46 in July and have not done anything for me in a long time. After a lot of research i decided on lap band, and can't wait for my surgery. Like all of you I've tried everything and nothing seamed to work long term. This is a new start for me I'm counting down the days till my new live begins i coud'nt be happier.
