I was always the biggest kid in my class in school. In sixth grade I was 140lbs. I got heavier as time went on. I hit a high a little over 340lbs in my 40’s. I picked the Lap-Band because it would not only limit how much I could eat, but the foods I could eat. Food has always been an issue with me so the Lap-Band® limiting me from bread, rice, pasta has been a life changer. Because I have had to modify my diet, I am down to 185lbs and holding.
