Surgeon Testimonial

David Lee, M.D
I was very excited that Dr. Lee was very caring and informative in our consult. I was not a number to him, I was a person. His office staff was very pleasant and kind. I was very informed of the risks and complications that could happen, as well as the benefits from it. So far, I've seen nothing negative. I can't really rate yet, because I've just begun the journey.

1 Year Surgiversary!
on June 30, 2011 4:16 pm
I was very excited to have my 1 year Surgiversary!  I am enjoying my life and hoping to continue to keep this weight off for good!  I have always been scared of regaining since you see it alot after the surgery.  I want to be healthy and to be a positive example to others.  I want my children and my husband to say "She did it" and "She's exceeded her dreams" and so on.  I am blessed to have gotten this far and am praying for blessings to keep going!

Just Checkin In

I have been MIA for a bit, sorry!  I have been enjoying life and loving it!  We got a trampoline for my boys and I think I've been enjoying it just as much as they have haha.  My lil guy Joshua LOVES for us to get on it together and jump.  He really loves spending time with me in play mode LOL.  And of course, I love seeing that smile on his face when we are together having fun. :)  One of the best feelings in the world!  Take care all!

New Drivers License ID

April 14, 2011 - I went to the BMV today to renew our license plates and I decided to get a new drivers license ID!  It felt sooooo good and joyous to get a new picture taken and watch them switch the weight from 265 lbs. to now!

Bariatric Fashion Show
on April 6, 2011 12:36 pm


Sunday, April 3, 2011 was my fashion show.  I felt so beautiful in my outfit and was so nervous getting ready.  I had 32 people show up to support me in the show.  As I waited backstage in the line of models, I kept going over the journey I've been on.  I have really came a long way and am a success story.  I have so much to be thankful for and proud of.  I have dedicated myself to  a healthier life and focused on changing my bad habits to a lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise.  I was the 4th model and the closer I got to my turn, the more nervous I got. I was literally shaking on the inside!  My heart felt like it was in my throat!  When I heard my husband reading my story, I thought I could buckle under my knees.  Then when I went out and down the catwalk, it was like I was dreaming.  It was funny because when I was done, I walked right past my husband and didn't even know he was standing there waiting on me because I was so nervous and in shock LOL.  He just laughed at me and walked up to me LOL.  I sooooo enjoyed this moment.  I had the most people there screaming for me and cheering me on. I walked down to "Brick House" by the Commodores.  My husband picked the song out.  He says it soooo fits me LOL.  My 5 1/2 year old son, Joshua, asked my husband "Daddy, did mommy win?" and my husband said, "What do you mean?" and Joshua said, "You know, like on the Biggest Loser, did mommy lose the most weight?  I bet she did!" LOL that made my day!  Anyway, this was the best day I have had ever!  I felt like a prom queen :)

I'm officially "normal weight"
on March 29, 2011 10:34 am
I am officially in the "normal" weight range for BMI.  I am currently 24.7 and "normal" is 18.5 to 24.9.  I started out at 46.9 which is morbidly obese (greater than 40).  I am sooooo excited for this! 

I'M THE ONE ON THE RIGHT :)

My Story



Hi. My name is Annie. I'm 37 years old.  I'm from Indiana. I have a wonderful husband and 2 handsome boys (one is stepson, but he's still mine lol ).  I work for myself at Maid4U House Cleaning Services. I have been struggling with my weight ever since I was about 16.  I was at my heaviest weighing 265lbs. I am only 5 ft. 3 in.  I have had high blood pressure since I got pregnant and had toxemia.  I had an emergency c-section a month early and have packed on the pounds really fast ever since then in 2005. 

I want to be off my blood pressure meds. I want to be able to play with my boys, be physically desirable to my husband(even though he says I am now :)), have more energy, feel good about myself, be healthy, be able to go to the pool without being embarrassed, and much more!
