Hi, my name is Crystal and I am a 28 year old nursing student. My weight issues did not start until I was in the 7th grade and from there it has always been an up and down battle. At one point, I was able to lose over 60lbs but that success was short lived. I gained the 60lbs back and then some. I have never been able to be consistent with my weight. I began to look into weight loss surgery and I ultimately decided on the lap band.

August 12, 2009-First weight loss appt. Weight 272

September 2009-Second weight loss appt. Met with nutrutionist and had my therapist submit letter stating that I was mentally sound to have weight loss surgery. Weight 274

October 16, 2009-Third weight loss appt. Weight 278

November 16, 2009-Fourth weight loss appt. Paper work submitted to insurance company for approval. Weight 287

FYI.....in the month of September I quit smoking and I gained quite a bit of weight. I replaced my habit of smoking with food.

November 30, 2009-Recieved approval from insurance company and set the date for my surgery and began my pre-op diet.

December 7, 2009-Pre-Op appt. Weight 284

December 11, 2009-Had my surgery which marked the beginning of my new life.

Hey Crystal you are looking great gurlie. I have that same problem of skipping meals so I'm trying to break that habit before the surgery and let me tell you it's soooo hard. Keep up the awesome job and please keep us posted. I'm so excited being on this journey and can't wait to be a healthier me.
