My Story

oh where to start? im a youngin. only 20 years old... but have been struggling with my weight since i've been 11. i've tried every diet imaginable including infomertial diets!! i'm 4'9" and weigh 193 pounds... so i look pretty round. i broke my back when i was seventeen. this is a pretty crazy story, not sure you all would want to hear it haha! sooo my weight has been an increasing problem. because im young and have no other health risks besides obesity my doctor thinks i will have a smooth recovery. my surgery date is scheduled for janurary 14th!! which is amazing and im so excited. i look forward to being able to walk into a public place and not think everyone is wondering who that that fat midget is, being able to enjoy my youth, and not worry that im going to inheret my families bad heart problems. as a child i watched my dad struggle with his heart condition(having numerous heart attacks, and open heart surgery) and weight. it is not something that i want to happen to me or even put my kids through. i'm very self-conscious about my height and i think its mainly because i was not just really short, i was very over weight for my height. I am a very outgoing, intellegent person and hope this surgery gives me the confidence i need to take me to all the places in life i know i can go!!! i also have an amazing support system! my sister(my bestfriend) has also had this surgery and has amazing results, not to mention i have an amazing mother who supports me in all i do!! cheers to a journey that is about to begin!!
