I have been a full figured women all of my life and I come from a family of very fine full figured women. As an avid athlete I used my height and my weight to my advantage all the way through college. The only thing that really saved me was my height. I've been 6'2" since ninth grade so I have always carried my weight fairly even but after having children and working several office jobs you aren't as active as you used to be. I have always been one to walk or exercise but just eating the wrong things. 

Once the weight started affecting my health I realized I had to do something. I've done every weight loss of diet program known to man. Some legal and some illegal. Some healthy and some not so healthy. It just got to the point where my weight would go up and down like a yo yo. But after being put on high blood pressure meds, high cholesterol meds, being pre diabetic and diagnosed with sleep apnea you realize you need more drastic help. Then God sent my new sister to share with me another tool to help in saving my life.

I will always be grateful for my Tiny friend and she knows I love her dearly like we have the same mother because she introduced me to a real life success story of gastric bypass in herself.  I listened to her story, I watched her life and I gleened from her experiences. Then I started doing more research on my own. Then I found out my girlfriend from highschool had recently had the surgery so I asked her about it and she referred me to Neweigh. They are my life savers and I love Carla and all of the staff at Neweigh in Houston, Texas.


It's finally time for me to live again . . .
