"There is only one person in our lifetime that we spend 24hrs a day/7 days a week with, from birth to death, ourselves. It's an awfully long time to spend with someone you don't like very much!"
This was the quote that changed my life forever. After 23 years of being morbidly obese, being called every fat name you could imagine, I finally cracked – I had had enough.
I had heard about Gastric Banding a few times, but really didn’t know much about it, that night I started looking on the Internet and researching the procedure, looking at patients websites with their fantastic photos of success, I was crying, I was jealous, I wanted it, I wanted what those people had, a cure, a tool to help me lose weight, once and for all. I had been on every diet known and nothing had ever worked, I had hit rock bottom. I hated myself, I hated what I had become, I hate my life, I hated the world and I wanted it to be over. My choice then became clear and simple. I was having Gastric Banding, I was going to save my life, and change it forever!!!
