Most of you are probably familiar with the Lap Band. Maybe
you’ve seen the “roaring hungry lion” commercial or have read about this weight
loss surgery in a magazine. Maybe you’ve even undergone surgery and have a band
yourself! Either way, I thought I’d share my thoughts about some discoveries
along my journey.
I was Banded in July 2010. I’m small framed, 4’10”. I made
the decision to be Banded not only because I have a history of losing and
gaining weight multiple times in my 27 years, but also because of hormone,
spinal health, and ultimately insuring a better future (not to mention I was
hovering over the ____lb mark). |
