My Life in the Fat Lane....

Mar 25, 2010

I have always been taught to love myself. Raised in a household/family of overweight people, I was never made to feel any different from any one else. Even in school, I had my usual run ins with "the skinny  chicks", but not once did it make me think down on myself. Now, just 6 months shy of my 23rd birthday, I know that I need to do something about my weight. I was introduced to WLS at at early age. My mother along with three aunts and a cousin have all had the Gastric Bypass procedure in an attempt to take control of their lives again. I have always been asked if I was gonna be next and for the past five years my answer has been no. However recently experiencing back pains, menstrual problems, and difficulty dropping weight, I have decided to stop procrastinating and take control of my life as well. I am currently weighing in at 316. I go for my first consultation with doctor Celio Burrowes this upcoming Wednesday, March 31st. Hopefully everything goes well.
