rodriguezequal's Story  
Hello my name is Holli. I am the mother of a special needs/disabled son and an Army wife. I have been over weight for a long time. I almost got to 300 pounds and I was unhappy. I finally got up the courage to go to a free seminar and I liked what I heard. A few weeks later I was banded and happy :) Recently I have been dealing with somethings. My son and his problems. May 13th 2009 I had my first miscarriage (at age 22) at 5 weeks. It has broken my heart. Then I found out my son has to have brain surgery (he's 2). It will be his 3rd surgery, but only the second on his brain. This has put a hold on my weightloss. I had gotten down to 192 and now I'm climbing back up again...Hopefully someday I'll reach my goal and things will get better...
