Well hello to all that visit. This is "My Story." I am 30yrs old (as of now). I have 2 boys one is 10yrs 3mo and the other is 3yrs 9mo. I was always the "fat" kid in elementary school. I think part of it was I believed the mean kids so even if I wasn't I was in the mind set of being fat. In junior high the 'mean girls' said the same thing. When I look back as a junior in HS I was 115 @ 5'4 (only by starving myself)what was so fat about that? At which point I met my 1st husband and married at a young age (16). Due to some family issues I believe that was my rush to get AWAY! By the time I graduated from HS I was about 160ish. I decided in 1996 to join the ARMY I was 165 when I joined and due to my marriage failing due to infidelity and abusiveness I got out at the weight of 135-130. I knew I was the BOMB, but then about 6mo later I was pregnant. I got up to 185 at delivery I was 20yrs old. Eventually I got down to 150ish after finding out my son was deaf. Between 2000 to 2003 I gained to 165-170 (on my 2nd wedding day). I continued to climb. I was diagnosed with PCOS and right before starting clomid I found out I was pregnant.
I was 188 at this point. I began to have bladder issues the more weight I had. My OB/GYN doc hoped it would stop after giving birth (it never stopped) In 4/04 I gave birth to my 2nd and last child (6 1/2 yrs between my kids) I was 235. I did lose to 200 but 8wks after giving birth my back went out. I couldnt stand, sit, or walk! My doctor said that I needed to continue to lose weight gave me a cortisone shot then sent me away. But then I was in a rollover accident 5mo after giving birth. My back didn't go into spasms or whatever but for 2 more times after that. I am in constant pain. My PA finally ordered an X-ray in 2005 even after I told him that I needed an MRI. The results showed nothing, supposidly. He handed me a script for Adipex (after calling me fat) and a script for pain meds. I was back at 215. My husband and I split up 
for 3 mo. I lost to 188, from a 20 to a 16. We reconciled and we moved to NC for his job. I was 185 the day I started my job 3/06. By July I had gained to 200. I started Adipex again because my goal was to lose 50lbs by next b'day the following year (my 30th)... But much to my dismay July 2007 came around and I was 250lbs!!!! My back was hurting more. Finally my doctor in NC ordered the MRI. I have DDD and a buldging disk... well what do you know!!! He still said I needed to lose weight but since I was limited on exercise this would be really hard so since I worked for the local hospital in NC and they would cover WLS 'if' I participated in their Healthy Living Program. So he gave me the referral for that. After I waited 5mo for my name to come up on the list I had maintained 255. I was 2mo into the program and my husband got a transfer back to FL. I was happy to move back home but his ins. isn't good. I weighed myself while we were unpacking and I was 260lbs!!!! OMG! I thought my clothes were looser, NOPE! And then my story continues in my next entry.... ( I added this after my Feb. entries)
