Hi my name is Michelle. i'm 21 and currently live in miami. i started to gain weight when i started the 7th grade. I used to weight around 140-160 lbs and and used a size 9 or 10. i look back and see that i started to gain weight and eating for comfort becasue i felt that my world came to a hold when my dad died of a heart attack. currently i'm weighting 290 and use a size 24. i feel mad when i go into a store and want to buy new clothes and dresses but they don't fit. when i go to the mall i feel that people are looking at me and laughing. i also have family members that laugh at me becasue i'm overweight. this month i made my decision in getting the lapband. i believe that this can be a positive turn in my life and that i can accomplish a goal of mine that i have been having for the past 5 years.
