My story.... hmm... Okay well I guess I'll start with my name. I'm Amanda. I'm 18, turning 19 next month. I'm a biology major and hope to go to medical school to be a surgeon one day. I've been overweight my whole life. I've only been significantly overweight in the past 4-5 years. I didn't have one specific event that you can put your finger on and say "this is the reason I started gaining so much". But the fact is, I am this weight now and my life is severely effected by it. You could say I'm a pretty tall girl... but you would be wrong and my friends would laugh. :) I'm only 5'3. You can see my BMI to the left so if you are that curious you can figure out my weight. But I guess it would save you all time... and well... it would have saved me time to just tell you in the first place... but whatever... I'm 290 lbs. I've lost a little bit but I haven't weighed myself yet. I've been researching weight loss surgery for months now and I have made up my mind. I want to get the surgery. I really would appreciate any advice or stories anyone has to offer. Especially if you got yours done in the San Diego area.
