One of my best friends here in Florida, who shall go unnamed, has struggled with her weight since before I even met her. She got down to a lovely size before her wedding, but the girl was at the gym twice a day and eating strictly egg whites and protein shakes. I remember that back when she was losing her weight, she was completely off the radar socially. We never heard from the girl! She was at the gym for hours before work and hours after work and then so completely exhausted that she fell into bed at night. It’s no small wonder that when she did begin to date, she met her now-husband at the gym.
It’s safe to assume that losing weight is just difficult for her. She put all of her weight back on when she had her daughter, and then some. So, she called me last week to tell me that she and her doctor are beginning the process for the Lap Band procedure. That’s the system that uses an adjustable gastric band, so nothing is actually removed or altered in your body. You continue to receive all of your nutrients, because nothing is being bypassed. It simply reduced the size of your stomach. There is a Journey Lite facility in Tampa that she I gong to be working with. They are known for their lap-band los angeles offices.
I wish her the best. I know she wants to have a second child and her current weight has been getting in the way of conception. I support her decision and I will be excited to watch her progress.
