Well, I guess my story is a whole lot like everyone else who is searching for ways to loose weight and keep it off. In high school I was always a little over-weight but by the time I had gotten to college I had discovered the ways of crash dieting and had gotten down to a size 4. On my wedding day in 1997 I wore a size 6 wedding dress. Then, 3 short months into our marriage, I was pregnant with my daughter. I gained a whopping 70 pounds with her. I ended up loosing about half of it. Four years later, I had our son and gained another 70 pounds and this time the weight would not come off at all. I guess some depression had set in about being obese so therefore I am sure I gained another 50 pounds or so. I have been researching weight loss surgery for about 3 years. At first I was all about the lap-band and then I went to a seminar where Dr. Kim talked about 3 different types of surgery that he performed. My husband and I decided that bypass was probably the better option for me based on my BMI. Well, during the 6 month diet and 2 week fast before my surgery I have lost almost 30 pounds. My surgery is just 3 short days away and I am on to celebrating a new birthday!
