ICanBreatheAgain
It all started in 1984 while in the Air Force. I weighed 148 lbs and they said I was clinically obese. I have been struggling ever since to keep the weight off. My heighest weight was 253 in 2005. Go figure, I am now trying to weight 148 lbs. I have, like all, tried every diet. Yes, I have lost some and of course gained it back. Ever since 2005, I have been contemplating WLS. So finally in 2008 when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I thought now is my chance. In Sept 2008 I began my journey. In Jan 2009, Tricare approved me for the Lap Band. My surgery date is Feb 17, 2009. Excited but a little scared. Please pray I have no problems. I really want to be healthy.
