I was a little on the chubby side growing up, then when I was 14, I was what they termed "bulimarexic." I lost a ton of weight and ended up being 126 pounds. From about 15 and a half on I started gaining all the weight back...plus lots more. By the time I graduated high school I was 180 pounds, 5'4". First year of college I gained and lost, and then for the next few years until I moved from the east coast to the west, I gained about 20 pounds. When I moved from CA to AZ I had gained another 20, putting me at 220. I am still at the same height, 5'4". In the last three years living in AZ, I gained 90 pounds! I topped out at 310 just a few months ago. Then I went on a diet and I had already been through Weight Watchers and numerous other programs, as well as attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings. In the last few months I dropped from 310 to 295. I just had my Lap Band put in on July 25th and I lost 10 pounds this week. Just a start to what I hope is a very "losing" lifestyle! My family and my boyfriend, Russ, whom I have been with for 3 and a half years, have been extremely supportive. I am lucky to have them all. I was so excited when I finally got approved, it was like a dream. And Dr. Simpson was great and is great.
