Kathy: LAP-BAND Success

Kathy lap band success

My name is Kathy and this is a story about how I got my life back.

Let me start by explaining how I reached 275 pounds.  Over a six month period, I lost both my brother and husband of 30 years.  A few months later, I lost my mother.  I went into a deep depression and gained more and more weight.  Soon, I couldn’t walk very far and had trouble breathing because of all of the weight I had gained.
