Hi my name is Mandy and i am 27 yrs old. I am married to a wonderful man and have 3 beautiful children. I have been over weight most of my life and have struggled to loose weight as well. One day i woke up and looked at my kids and said i can't be this way anymore and i need to do something about it, I want to be there to watch them grow up and not have any health issues. It took me 2 yrs to finally go to a seminar because i felt like i could do it on my own and i did not want to take the easy way out but when i started researching the Lapband surgery i found out that it is not a easy way out. It is still alot of work it is just a tool and it was going to be my way out of having health issues in the long wrong.
So on Nov 29 2007 I went into surgery and i was scared to death. I actually think i was crying when they put me under. But now that i have had it and it is all over i am doing great. It has taken alot of my craving away like sweets and fast food and cokes. Those were my major issues. I am eating like i should and walking alot. It is a slow weight lose but it is worth it. It has been 2 months since i had it and i think i have lost 20 lbs or more so i think i am doing good. But if anyone has any questions or concerns pls feel free to contact me and i am here to listen..
