I've had an issue with weight most of my life. Before I got pregnant with my daughter (who's 19, now) I was 145....then gained a ton while pregnant. I'm a Firefighter and EMT by trade, but have been in management for the last 10 years. That was part of my downfall. Not enough activity, too much intake...you know.
So, I finally managed to drum up enough money to pay cash for the Lap Band.
That's it, in a nutshell! =)
