I started to get fat in fifth grade.  By the time I graduated from 8th grade, I was 5'1," 136 pounds.  I slimmed down in my teen-age years and at my thinnest I was 107.  When I got married, I was 129.  With each child, I gained more weight.  If you looked at my family album, you'd see me getting progressively bigger.  When my husband died in 1996, I weighed 202.  In the ten years since then, I have ballooned to 260 pounds.  With that weight has come sleep apnea, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis and depression.  In April, 2006, I went to my first appointment with Dr. Jonathan Spitz.  Since October 23, 2006, I have been banded.
