I'm 45 yo and I've been struggling most of my life with my weight as far back as 9yo.  There is not one year of my life that I didn't diet and try to lose weight.  The lowest my weight has been was 125.  That was in high school and I was a feature twirler.  Even then I struggled.  I remember my coach sitting with me at lunch making sure I didn't overeat.  I had to weigh in on Friday mornings (game day).  If I weighed over 130 I wasn't allowed to twirl that night.  I really freaked out if it were that time of the month.  If that were the case I would take diet pills, make myself throw up and skip meals just so I wouldn't go over the 130 limit.  I never did miss a game.  After graduation I was so thrilled with this weight limit not hanging over my head anymore.  I went crazy with food.  I finally ate without ristrictions.  I got married and had three children.  That added pounds as well.  It's been nothing but a downhill slide since then.  My largest has been 250.  There's not a diet I haven't tried.  My latest was LA wt loss.  I got down to 222.  Things were going well then the clinic closed.  I decided that was it.  I've had it with diets and struggling.  I decided on the lapband.  I got approved for financing through my bank and CareCredit.  I had surgery on April 17th, 2009.  My first fill takes place on June 15th.  I'm so excited.  I can't wait to go shopping for pretty clothes.  I can't wait to see what my family and friends reactions will be.  Most of all I can't wait to feel healthy and pretty again.
