My name is Lauren, but you can call me Lo. I am 21 and I had the lap
band surgery in 2010. I reached my highest weight, my depression was
off the charts, and I could barely participate in the activities that
people my age did. I am a college student and as my classmates started
having the time of their lives, I sat at home working on my impending
death. There is a program I want to do where I go to Jerusalem and
study for 4 months through my school and a Europe trip that is a month
long and in my current state, I would not be able to go. So I decided
to get my life together. I started working with doctors towards
getting Lap-band. I have worked my butt off to lose the weight before
I could get the surgery and even after surgery it is no quick fix, and
it only helps with portion control. On 9/28/2010 I got the surgery and
I have lost some weight. Follow me on this journey as I get the rest
of weight off and I live my life in the drivers seat. Starting weight:
