I have always be the fat friend, The fat girl, The fat mommy, The fat wife, My weight got so out of control that my healt problems were just walking me to my grave at a real young age. I don't want to be the fat anything anymore I am sick of that feeling. I have tired for many years to get some help with my weight. I went to three cast and calls for the biggest loser. But never seemed to make the show. In 2005 I tired to get gastric bypass but insurance just kept turning me down. So I thought I would have to fight this battle forever. Then I decided I would try one more time for gastric bypass after hurting my back at work. I started this time in march of 2010. And by sept 2010 insurance said ok we will approve her for surgery. I had my surgery on Nov 16th 2010. This was already a special day in our family. It is my baby brother Donny's birthday and he died when her was only 4 years old. So I am proud that my surgery to help save my life was done on his birthday. My weight when I started my preop diet was 334lbs. I lost A total of 31 pounds on my preop diet. My surgeon is counting this total to my overall weight loss which is nice.
I Can't wait to be healthy Again.
