I just found an old journal entry that I made on 02/04/13, and I had mentioned that I weighed 215#'s! I vaguely remember that. I knew I had to do something and fast. I felt like I was in a nose dive, just spinning out of control. How did this happen? I have never weighed this much in my life. Not once did I ever consider having surgery. Not until I had 2 good friends do it. They don't even know each other. One is a lifelong friend from when we were kids and the other is a co-worker. One had the lap band and the other had gastric bypass. Two months later I was researching all options on the planet. I prayed about it, cried about it and thought of nothing else but IT. (my weight and how to get rid of it). I lost 100#'s before on diet pills in the late 90's. So I knew I could do it, I just needed help. And here I am.
