Ursiegirl2015's Blog

Aug 12, 2014

Hi :)  I don't know where to begin, or if I'm bloggin in the right place! lol....but I'll blog here anyway :) My name is Ursula. I have a long drawn out history, as I'm sure we all do :).  I was brought up in an Italian/American family...where the woman all wore black...the men were all barbers, and pizza makers...and the kids did nothing but listen to their fathers play guitars, mandolins, and accordions, to Italian music....and of course...ATE! (NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE HERE..THIS WAS MY FAMILY)  By the time I was in 3rd grade...I was weighing nearly 300 pounds! There is so much in between, but I'm trying to skip some, and get to the main ideas. At the age of 32, I gave birth to my son, while weighing 475 pounds! Nearly 16 years later, and approximately 16 abdominal surgeries ( 4-5 being bowel obstructions & 4-5 hernia repairs)...with almost all co-morbidities...I am hopefully getting sleeved soon!!!   Over the years, I worked my way down to where I am now...which is 314.3 pounds as of Aug 6th, 2014....at my surgeons office...who seemed to be exceptionally nice & knowledgeable :)
