My Weight History

On December 27, 2007 I had lap band surgery. My weight was at that time 326 pounds, as of 6/29/2008 I weighed 224 pounds. This was the best thing I could have ever done. I have tried Jenny Craig, WeightWatchers and other fad diets. I have to say that WeightWatchers was great but for some reason I could not continue eating right. I would always fail. For five year my weight would fluctuate and at one point going as high as 345. I had Type II Diabetes, my tryglycerides were 450 and I was taking over 6 meds a day. I tried natural cures to lower my triglycerides and blood sugar. I tried natural cures or over the counters weight loss remedies. Nothing worked. So in October 2007 I decided to go get a consultation with a doctor to discuss weight loss surgery. He explained there are two types of bariatric surgery the Gastric Bypass and the Gastric Banding. After a discussion we decided to go with the Gastric Banding or LAPBand. LAPBand is a trademark go to http://www.lapband.com/ for further information.
