My Story

Despite the fact that I was overweight, I have always been healthy. Up until these last two years, I have been diagnosed with borderline diabetes, high blood pressure, low thyroid, and depression. The heaviest I have been was 465 a year ago. I have pretty much always have had good self esteem. Sure, I had my bad days... but who doesn't? I loved myself regardless, I liked and enjoyed who I was. Yes, I am overweight, but that didn't stop me from TRYING to live life, even though I do miss out on a lot. Last couple of years though, I'm not happy. I'm not truly happy with what is surrounding me, I'm not truly happy with myself, with the situation I am in. I have contemplated surgery when I was younger in my very early 20's when I was 300lbs but financial reasons made me give up that hope at that time. I've tried all kinds of diets, from pills, programs, gym, etc all my life. All I end up is loosing some weight, just to gain it back plus more. I have finally decided that I do need to do something. I need to turn my life around, I need to lead a better life, I need to be truly happy and healthy! I love life and I am too young to be unhealthy! I am ready to have WLS!
