My Story

I've always been horrified of my weight...even when I was in high school and was a size 5 (not sure what I was thinking there?!).  I always had a pretty face I thought but of course I was constantly on a diet to get skinny.  I have always been "thick" as guys call it, you know the good kind of extra meat on the bones, the butt and all.  But now I'm in my later 20's and the thickness is now just plain fat.  I look back on pictures from even 5 years ago and think "wow, I thought I was fat then, I looked great!".

I'm starting my 6 week mandatory visits with my doctor and nutritionist and my 1 psychological evaluation this month and am so ready to get my surgery.  I am scared of course.  Complications can happen and I just pray daily that God watches over me and keeps me well in His hands.  I want my energy back, I want to look good, feel good and stay healthy.  I am one of the luckier ones right now I guess...I have no health problems, no diabetes, no high blood pressure...but I know if I stay on this path and keep my BMI in the 40's like they are now or even higher that the health problems are just around the corner.
