Went to Gainsville-Shan's for the information meeting for WLS. I've been wanting to get it done for about 3 years but was always afraid to.I am very close to my family and I have a big family, my mom has been against WLS for the last couple years because she is afraid something will happen to me. My mom is afraid to loose another daughter, as my older sister passed away in May 2000 due to her heart just stopping, she was very healthy and active and one day she was gone! It was very sad for our family as you can imagine but because of this my mom is so much more against WLS because she's afraid to loose me, and I totally understand but I am ready for this change in my life more then ever.
I am a single mom of two kids a girl 6yrs old and a boy 1 yrs old, they are my WORLD! I want to be healthy and active for them and myself because I am all they got!

I had my surgery 3 months ago and I went from 301lbs to 234lbs and I feel wonderful! I haven't been this happy in along time, I feel so great about myself and so much healthier! I don't eat to much but I enjoy loosing the weight. My hair has started to fall out, but the doctor said this is normal to loose some hair especially if I'm not taking my vitamins like I'm suppose to. I've been slacking on taking the vitamins twice a day, I've been taking them once a day...my life is just crazy with work and taking care of my two little one's that sometimes I totally forget..but I'm going to get better about this so I can make sure I stay healthy. This was the best decision I have made in along time and the only thing I wish was I didn't way sooner :)
