I had struggled with weight my entire life. One of my least favorite memories is when I was in elementary school and going shopping with my mother for new school clothes. While everyone else was wearing the cute kids' styles, I was shopping in the Dillard’s women's department and other stores with plus size sections. By the time I was in high school I was on two different high blood pressure medications and on the fast track for diabetes, joint problems, and heart disease – all of which run in my family. I went to college and the pounds just piled on until I weighed more than 330 pounds.
Fast forward several years and many missed opportunities because I was obese, and I saw an ad in the paper for the LAP-BAND®. It took me about five minutes to decide this was the procedure for me. I was in grad school at the time and had to wait a few months until spring break, otherwise I think I would've had it the next day!

I got my LAP-BAND March 11, 2005, and I haven't looked back since. The most I had ever lost on any diet was about 30 pounds. The LAP-BAND has helped me lose more than 150 pounds, and I'm no longer on blood pressure meds (or any other medication for that matter). I can shop at "normal" clothing stores and I've said goodbye forever to the discomfort of carrying around so much excess weight. Best of all, I have the assurance of knowing that I'll never go on another diet again, and this time the weight won’t come back.
