My journey begins
Feb 25, 2007
I have been heavy my whole life. I have a sister who is skinny and has always made me feel inferior to her. I was heavy thru high school never had many dates and always felt I was missing something. As I got older I met my wonderful Husband of 18 years now and was married and had three wonderful children. But I have always continued to be heavy. My husband was always supportive of me in the many, many attempts I made by trying to loose weight. I also have a form of muscular dystrophy called myotonic muscular dystrophy and with my weight it just got worse as the years went by. So I looked into WLS and felt it was the only way I could loose the weight I needed. I also had high blood pressure, was border line diabetic had high cholesterol and was just diagnosed with asthma. And so my journey began.
