Hi everyone my name is Christy. I'm 38 yrs old and after contemplating surgery for about 5 years I finally had it done on April 27th. I'm 7 days post-op and down about 10 lbs.My journey hasn't been easy. I had my son young at 19. I gained 90lbs with him beause I had toximia really bad. Before becoming pregnant I was 135lbs and after I was 235. From there I just kept gaining throughtout the years. I've tried everything from Jenny Craig to accupuncture; nothing worked. I had been contemplating surgery for a long time but never had the courage to go through with it. A friend of ours had the surgery while he was 500lbs and passed away on the operating table. Needless to say my family was not supportive. Years passed and still I kept gaining. At my heaviest 310lbs is when I decided to do it. It took me a year to get in to see Dr. Foster and another year to go through all the prepreations and to loose the 20 lbs. Being recently post-op it's a liffle nerve racking and I'm just hoping that I'm strong enough to resist temptations and to get to my goal. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and staying connected with the old. Good luck to everyone on this journey.
