The only time I been small is when I was a little girl in pre-school, and I still then I was tallest and biggest kid.  I have all been heavy person even as a baby I was born at eight-pound. When I was grade school I was over 100 pounds and in high school I was over 200 to 300 hundred pounds.  In college I was still over 300 to 400 hundred pounds and the highest I been was 485 pounds.  Now I am 428 pounds I did lose 70 pound and it took over year to lose those pound but I gained back 13 pounds.  I am still having a hard time to maintain where I am at right now. 

All of my doctors kept after me about losing my weight, especially my primary doctor I have been fighting with her against the WLS especially the gastric bypass. I told her that she should never bother to mention gastric bypass to me again. I made up in mine that I was going to give myself two years to lose a least a 200 pounds.  I watched Oprah, Dr. Phil and The Biggest Loser show how these people losing weight. I know I could do the same, so I got on a diet low carbohydrates, low fat and high in protein.  I would get up 4:30 AM before work to do two exercise programs one cardio and body sculptors that I paid total over $100. I finally lose 70 that was wonderful but it took over a years to lose that and I started having health complication first knees and server back pain, but before I realized I stated gaining some weight back about 13 pound I am having the been a yo-yo affect.  My health complication was becoming worst and I realized if I did do something about really soon. I have been in many weights loss programs as teenage to an adult such as Weight Watcher, Nutri System, Atkins, etc and the last was LA Weight Loss that I gotten ill on and also gained weight. I realize that I need to look into WLS with my health complication I realized I had only two chooses either the Lap-Band or Gastric Bypass. I finally made up my mind up with my mother help to have the WLS the gastric bypass after research and speaking to people whom had the procedure, especially my sister.  I really appreciate my sister she really was very supportive she given me some web sites to look at about the surgery and list of books to read such as Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies. 

I thank God for my mother she have been really supportive for me to have this surgery. I know she is scared, concern and nervous for having this procedure, praying that they won’t be any complication.  Lately I have begun to become nervous about the whole surgery, mainly concern about the pain after the surgery. The other thing I am concern about the mental factor after the surgery how my inside are changed, that I am not the same.  I am not sure the change will be a good or bad thing.  I have been really surprise that my friend and family have been really supportive. So my surgery is schedule for Tuesday, March 13, 2007.
