Hello Everyone
Here goes my lovely story.........35 yrs old with 3 amazing children, 17, 13 and 12. I have always been chunky or 20/30 lbs overweight. When i get pregnant with my 2nd child i ballooned to 250 lbs. Spent years triing to get that off. Then one day ,3 years later, i went from 250lbs to 138 lbs in 13 or 14 weeks for now reason, that we know of......lol Gradually the weight crept back up on me and here i am at 35, 5'2" and 284.4 lbs. I am miserable!! Time to make a change. I went to a seminar at Hurley Bariatric Center, didnt care for the impersonal feel of it all, plus it was so far to drive. Hubby told me about Dr. Ringley at Covenant in Saginaw where he works, stated that he was a good Doctor and that others he works with had had surgery with him. So, i went to one of his seminars and the process has begun and the date is November 17th!!!
This is scary for so many reasons, yet also very exciting. To finally be able to diet and have progress, to be able to tie my shoes with out struggling, to be comfortable in jeans, to be comfortable to go to the kids school functions and feel embarassed. At this weight i am very selfconscious about how others view me and what they may say. The Day i realized i was FAT.........I was coming out of staples with my hubby and some teenagers drove by screaming out "Holy shit shes HUGE" First time in my life that had ever happened and all i did was get in the car and cry my eyes out. I knew right then and there it was time to do something about this FAT!! I dont want to die young like my dad (53) I want to be there for my kids, i want to work, I want to live, do things i have never done!! I AM READY TO LIVE!!!
