I can not remember a time in my life that I was not overweight. As a child my grandmother experimented every weightloss fad on me from patches to drinking vinegar and garlic drinks! I worked with a lady that had gastric bypass and had so much sucess that I wanted to research it so I began with a visit to a bariatric surgeon in 2003. I had my surgery date set and was ready to go. The more I thought about all the possible risks the more I talked myself out of it. Then I heard about the lapband! That was the tool for me. I researched it, bought books, and revisited the same surgeon. He told me that I would be more sucessful with the RNY but lapband was better than nothing. I was so worried about how I would do this financially and how would I have the time away from work. I prayed that God would make the way for me and he did! Everything fell into place so smoothly and here I am banded!
