LAP BAND ME

HI THERE!, MY NAME IS CHARLES CARUANA LIVE IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA.
AS A YOUNG MAN NEVER REALLY HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY WEIGHT I WAS VERY ACTIVE. MY DAD WAS A BRICK LAYER AND I USE TO HELP HIM ON SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND WEEK ENDS MOVING BRICKS AND MIXING CEMENT.  I STARTED FULL TIME WORK AFTER I DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AT 15 AND GOT A JOB WORKING IN A SHOE FACTORY WHERE ALL THE MACHINES WORKED WITH STEAM AND IT WAS MY JOB TO CARRY WATER OVER TO THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE ALWAYS FULL!.

GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS JUST 20 TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE GRACIE, THEN WORKING AS A SCAFFOLDER. MY WEIGHT WAS STILL NO PROBLEM.  HAD OUR FIRST CHILD LUKE WHEN I WAS 22 FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER 18MONTHS LATTER (HI JUSTIN!) IT WAS THEN I STARTED NOTICING MY WEIGHT WAS SLOWLY CREEPING UP BUT I JUST PUT IT DOWN TO A CHANGE OF JOB AND LACK OF EXERCISE, NEED TO EXERCISE. WELL EXERCISING WAS FAR AND FEW IN-BETWEEN  AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I HAD GONE FROM 78KG (171LB)  TO 110KG (242LB) THIS IS WHEN I STARTED MY REGIME OF DIETING. I HAD TRIED WITH LITTLE SUCCESS EVERY DIET PROGRAM AND INFOMERCIAL EXERCISE EQUIPMENT I COULD GET MY HANDS ON. I HAVE TALLIED UP OVER THE YEARS AN ESTIMATED  $12,000.00!

NOW WORKING IN AN OFFICE ALL DAY I NOW WEIGH IN AT 126KG (277 LB) ALWAYS FEELING TIRED, UNABLE TO GET INVOLVED IN ACTIVITIES, FINDING IT HARD TO DO WORK AROUND THE HOUSE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! AFTER DOING NEARLY 2 YEARS OF RESEARCH, LAP BANDING IS NOW MY ONLY OPTION.



SO COME JOIN ME ON MY JOURNEY TO BEAT THE BULGE!I WILL BE UPDATING REGULARLY AND PLEASE COMMENT ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

REGARDS CHUMIO. :-)
