Hello everyone! My name is Jessica i am a 21 year old single mother of a 3 year old boy and a 1 1/2 year old girl. i decided to go throught with the gastric bypass RNY because there is high risk of getting diabeties in my family and i was borderline diabetic, i had sleep apnea and did not have the energy to keep up with my kids. my surgery was on June 10, 2010. i started looking into this surgery june 2009 when i weighed 315 pounds! yes you read correctly 315! the highest weight i have ever weighed in my life. i felt discusting. the father of my children left me, he would always ridicule me about my weight making me feel worse about myself everyday not even wanting to change in front of him because i felt discusting. all i was left with was my kids myself, my family and school. i NEEDED to regain my health. i used food for comfort, happiness, when i was sad, to celebrate....food was my addiction and my drug. after i had my surgery i learned that food is there to give you energy, not to please you and not for fun. I am so happy that i had this surgery its absolutely the best decision i have ever made in my life.
