in Introduce Yourself
Good morning all! I am seeking friends for inspiration and motivation. Like most I am no stranger to ups and downs of weight. I had WLS in December 2008. I lost 154lbs. In my opinion.. the easy way. It took no effort and very little exercise and because of that it taught me nothing. Having said that I would do it again in a heartbeat. It got me to a weight that I now feel I can manage on my own.
I had a baby two years ago and gained 40lbs back. Grr! But most importantly and the true reason I am here.. Recently I found that my only kidney is failing and I am facing a transplant in the next 5 years. My doctor, not so delicately, informed me that I would not qualify at my current weight. You would think that would be enough motivation for a single mom with two kids.. but some days that just isn't enough. I have committed, none the less, so off on the journey we go!

    Hi I am also looking to lose over 100 pounds. Well 100 to 115 whatever feels right once I get there. I have been looking into having Lapband surgery. Can I ask what kind of WLS you had?
