    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

My Story

Well here I go my so called life story lol. Im 30 married, to the love of my life Shane who I have been with for 14yrs he has been my ROCK since i was 18yrs old we have 2 beautiful children together Preston 12 and Payton-Lynn 6 , and this is why i have decided to have the Duodenal Switch. Yes I am doing it for myself but more for my kids I want to be here for a long time to see them get married and have my grandbabies lol , my family is my world. All my life I have been over weight but was never really pick on so I really never thought of my self FAT till I had kids and gained over 100pnd with my son Preston after that it has been hell living in this body , its no fun when you go and take your kids to places and all you can do is just sit there and watch them have all the fun and when they come and ask you to join them you cant and say sorry hunny mom can't run around with you, this is not far for them or myself i cant wait till that day when i can go to the Zoo with them and walk around with out runnin out of breath or my legs killin me. Or go to Canada's Wonderland and go on a rollercoaster i have not done that since i was 16, that will be the first thing on myTO DO LIST lol anyways long story short I would like to thank Jamie.B for comin back in my life and helpin me with this you are my true Hero hun and you look amazing just hope by next year I look as HOT as you lol.

ttys all :)
