I was extremely overweight, 375 lbs. I have tried every diet and program you could think of to lose the weight, but still I could not lose enough weight to make any difference. Then I would just gain it all back and then some. I felt like a yo-yo. I pretty much had given up. With the help of a good friend and a little due diligence I found that surgery was the best option for me.
I did my homework to find the best type of procedure for my weight problem and I finally settled on the lap band.
After my surgery, I still wasn't sure that it was going to work. But here I am 95 lbs. lighter and loving it. I know I still have a ways to go, but what a difference!!! I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It is already easier for me to move around and I know that rest of the weight will come off soon. I am soooo happy that I did the surgery, I would do again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to lose an extreme amount of weight.
