I was married to a wonderful man- my soulmate who spoiled me rotten. We took yearly vacations, dined out, movies, plays,concerts, etc.. We had 2 beautiful children who are now 22 and 25 (girl and boy) who I love dearly. My husband passed away in 1999 after a sudden heart attack. We werer all devestated. After that, I completely loss my self. I started taking any opportunity to eat and gained more weight. I attempred WW numerous times afterwards but could not stay focused. My daughter also was deeply affected by hios death because she was a daddy's girl. We both gained a lot of weight. My highest weight was 345 lbs. I am only 5'4"!
I am a Registered Nurse and was on my feet a lot. As the weight went on, it got harder and harder for me to stand for long periods of time. My knees started to bother me a lot. It was very frustrating. I started watching this show called Big Medicine and saw what they were doing with WLS, did my research and decided this was for me. I am truly blessed that my insurance covers this and I am on my way to a better me!
