My story begins about 11 years ago. I lives a normal life wearing "normal" clothes. I got pregant and I wore a size 7-9 depending on the brand. I went to have the baby and was weighing 199#'s before having my first baby girl. I got down to a size 16. Three years later was wearing a 20 and I was pregant again. I had another little girl, still wearing a size 20. Eightteen months later pregnant again with my third and my last time, had another little girl.
Now 5 years later and am wearing a size 24 not happy with this and unable to find the strengh to do much, but I do try. I have forgot what it is like just to hurry up and do simple things like shave my legs or tie my shoes, its a freaking challange. My mother is a dietician and always been a small person and ALWAYS on me to get this weight off, WOW easier said then done. I have tried every diet known to man, and would loose, but then gain all back and plus more. I have tried all types of "weight loss medicine" and again would loose the weight, but gain all of it back again. I have been reading and studing about Lap Band now for 1 1/2 years and believe this is the right for me. I am ready to change. Ready to just live again and be happy, and not tired and out of energy to do anything, play with our girls, go on hikes, and I want to take some Ballroom dancing.
I went to my Dr again and told him I am needing help. I have got to get this weight off and have been reading up on the lap band. A month later he comes up to me at work (I work at the clinic) and says he has found a Dr that does this and is calling him to get me set up. And thanks to him, he got me set up for the seminar August 22 @ 3p.m. and I am nervous, fore this is the beginning of my journey.
