10-29-07 Hi My name is Danielle. I am 31 years old married to my favorite US Soldier and have 5 kids. 4 boys and a little girl :) I have been heavy since I was 15 and went on birth control. 16 years and 5 kids later here I am at around 330 pounds. Not a fun weight at all. While my husband was in Iraq I decided to go ahead with the Gastric Bypass Surgery. He totally supports me in my decision. He came home just in time to get a date for my surgery :) Great timing.... My surgery is set for 11-13-07 at 1pm at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka Kansas. I hope to loose 175-200 pounds. I am doing this for me. I am tired of being tired all the time and not being able to play with the kids. I do not have any medical conditions diagnosed due to the weight but I know there are some that are starting. So this surgery is coming at a great time :) I am very motivated to loose this weight and get active. My husband and I are really wanting to go do lots of things with our kids. To go to the zoo or amusement parks and be able to keep up with it and not have to take rest breaks all the time. I am nervous and excited. Not scared at all though :) Im ready.
