My name is Jenn and I will be having gastric bypass on August 29, 2011. I am actually not at the heaviest I've ever been. My heaviest weight was 365. In high school I was average size I fluctuated between 155-170lbs. Around the age of 20 I gained about 40lbs and never really tried to lose the weight. When I hit 260lbs I realized that I need to do something so I went on the opti-fast diet. I lost 60lbs and felt great. Within a year I gained it all back and then some. When I had my son in 2009 I weighed my heaviest at 365lbs. Six months after I had my son I went back on the opti-fast and got down to 240lbs. I was so proud of myself until I gained it all back. Every time I lose weight it seems to creep right back on.
At this point in my life I am married, and have a beautiful family. It makes me so sad to think that I cant get on the floor to play with my son. I cant run around with him like I want to. I really feel like this surgery will help me get to place I need and want to be.
I hope to find positive support on this site and hope I can be a positive supporter to anyone in need.
