How did i even have time to get this fat?! I am a full time mother to 3 (2 sons ages 9 & 11 and a daughter 1 year), full time wife, part-time student, and a full time office manager.

I just want to be happy again.  I feel like I have everything in my life set-up just right, except my weight. I am so happy with myself and I have a great body image, I deserve this for myself.  I'd even be fine with a size 14. Right now im in a size 22 for pants and 2x {sometimes 3x} for shirts. My current weight is 255 lbs and my goal is 155. So 100lbs difference, without WLS it seems nearly impossible, so i am excited to just get started! Ive already joined a gym and started drinking protein shakes and taking my vitamins.

I started this WLS journey on 10/26/12. I literally was sitting at home and decided this is it! I AM going to pursue WLS. I googled the different types of surgeries and came across OH.com. I looked through the directory and found a surgeon in my area. I call the hospital's phone number and they directed me to take an online seminar, which i did right then. Then they scheduled me for my first appointment and i was able to do 3-4 appointments at each visit. I was approved on 12-3-12 and was scheduled for 12-28-12. Unfortunately I couldn't get the time off work, so now I am shooting for the end of February.

2/22/13 will be my new beginning. I am getting sleeved!!
