By the time I reached 19 years of age, I weighed over 370 pounds. As a result of my obesity,
I developed severe hip destruction, eventually requiring surgery. I was unable to walk or
work, and had been in a wheel chair for the past 8 years. I required 28 medications each
day for treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, and hip pain control. My doctor warned
that I was a set up for a massive heart attack. I had Lap Band Surgery on March 29, 2004 and
have lost 200 pounds over the three years since the lap band surgery. Now, I’m out of the wheel chair,
I take only vitamins, have a full time job, and my heart is doing fine.
It was the best decision of my life.
