    Lesa, Your day is almost here! I will be praying that you have a complication free recovery and that you find yourself surrounded by supportive people to help you through the rough days (like today when you are stuck on an all liquid diet and your co-workers get to munch on Thanksgiving food) and celebrate with you as you reach and surpass your goals! God bless you Lesa, Amy Berry

    Lesa, Congrats on your surgery tomorrow! It's an amazing journey! Just buckle up and enjoy the ride. There are days when it will be tough and you will question why you ever had the surgery. You will seriously doubt that you made the right decision and might even search out a surgeon that'll do a revision. However, take heart, my friend, that's the hard part. Focus on what's important: The goal of losing the weight and becoming healthier. The weight loss will come; that's the nature of the surgery. Set your sights on trying to fix eating habits and establish new healthy ones, ones that will set examples for your children or spouse or future children. This is the beginning of the rest of your life. Don't go back! Move forward and inspire people with your amazing attitude and warm personality. It's going to be a great life, here on the loser's bench! See you on the losing side, Lesa! May God be with you and stay the hand of your surgeon.

My Story

I AM 40 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE TWO BOYS. THEY ARE 18 AND 14 YEARS OLD. I HAVE BEEN OBESE THE LAST 18 YEARS OF MY LIFE. I WAS A LITTLE OVERWEIGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WHEN I GOT OUT, I LOST ABOUT 30 LBS.. WHICH PUT ME AT ABOUT 140LBS. WHEN I GOT PREGNANT WITH MY FIRST SON I GAINED A 104 LBS..I STILL HAD THE SAME EATING HABBITS THAT I ALWAYS HAD BUT I WAS NOT EXCERISING. I WAS VERY ACTIVE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. DANCING SCHOOL,SOFTBALL,TENNIS,ETC.

I PROGRESSLY GOT BIGGER AND BIGGER OVER THE YEARS....TOPPING OFF AT 351! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD WEIGH TWO HUNDRED POUNDS MUCH LESS 351. I STILL HAD MY OUTGOING PERSONALITY AND WENT OUT ALOT IN PUBLIC AND NEVER FELT BAD ABOUT MYSELF. THEN I GOT OVER THREE HUNDRED AND SLOWELY BUT SURELY STARTED ALIENATING MYSELF FROM EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY. I HAD AND YES I DID SAY HAD!!!!! DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, SLEEP APENA, BACK AND LEG PAIN. I GOT TO THE POINT THAT I COULD HARDLY WIPE MY BUTT! SOMETIMES I WOULD CRY AFTER THAT BECAUSE I WAS SO DISPOINTED IN MYSELF THAT I HAD LET THIS HAPPEN.

TODAY I AM 4 MONTHS OUT AND DOWN 95LBS. EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL! ALL MY ILLINESS'S ARE GONE. I AM OFF ALL MEDICATION! I HAVE 76 MORE POUNDS TO GO AND REALLY FEEL THAT I WILL MAKE IT. I ALREADY HAVE MY LIFE BACK AND IT HAS JUST BEEN FOUR MONTHS. THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVERY DONE FOR MYSELF. I TRUELY BELEIVE IT SAVED MY LIFE.

I AM LEAVING ON THIS NOTE: I WATCHED 60 MINS. OR 20/20 AND THIS OBESE MAN MADE A COULD POINT:" MOST ADICTIONS ARE HANDLED IN THE MANNER THAT YOU DO WITHOUT THE DRUG OR DRINK THAT YOU ARE ADDICTED TO. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD, WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE SELF CONTROL BECAUSE WE HAVE TO EAT TO STAY ALIVE."

GOOD LUCK Everyone AND GOD BLESS.
