I am a 35yo mother of two. Married to a great guy whom 18 years ago (135lbs) I said I would marry ( and I say I can't keep my goals). I was married on March 31, 2001 (175lbs) and have my son who is 14 and my step daughter who is now 14 too. I am active in their school lives and only see how fat I am compared to the other moms.
I reached a max of 220lbs and with RA I was unable to bend over to tie my own shoes with out getting out of breath. I had it.
I walked past Dr Feng's office multiple times while going to my Remicade appointments and when I started searching on the internet - there he was. I emailed for an apointment and started my new life.
I met Dr Feng and Shelly and I wanted to have Lap Band, didn't realize that it was not a good idea to have an foreign object inside with all the meds that I take. Dr Feng helped me deside that this is the best surgery for me.
On Sept 20th after getting down to 209lbs because of drinking only protien drinks for 2 weeks; I went under and aside from getting really sick in recovery (which thankfully I do not remember) I came out perfectly. So far no problems. 
I am happy for my choice.
