My story, hmmm.....I am 25 years old and been "chubby" since I was 10 years old. I was always just chubby and when I hit 16 years old my weight just went up and down (but mostly up). I have done every diet you can imagine and always lost weight then gained it back and then some. The last diet I started (November 2007) before deciding to have this surgery was a Doctors program where I was taking 11 pills a day and lost 75 lbs in 3 1/2 months. I then started to get sick nearly everyday. I had horrible pains in my stomach that I ended up in the ER. Needless to say, I stopped that diet. I gained the all of 75 lbs back since then. My highest weight was 387. I finally had enough and decided to get the Lap Band done. I went to my local Bariatric surgeon's seminar and then made an appointment to see him. We spoke and he thought that the Sleeve was the best option for me. After doing research I completely agreed. I had my surgery on Jan 28, 2008. I am ready for my life to change. I am soooooo ready.
