When I started my life, my parents were very young ,teenagers,and I was so skinny my grandma used to tell my mother she was starving me . I was a slender girl til I was about 13 years old , I just began to get heavier and heavier . Through my high school years and after I bounced around in sizes from 20 to 24 and stayed that way for lots of years. I worked in the nursing field very from the age of 16 on in nursing homes and hospitols and also working part time jobs on the side . I was very active at one time even working two full time jobs. I lived on my own in a five bedroom farm house with a very large yard , and it was always clean and mowed , and I was generally a happy person . I met my husband online , we met in person for the first time November 10 th 2000 . We were married on May 7th of 2001, and I had my first son August of 2001 , and another in may of 2003, and again another in June 2005 and with each child I just gained more weight and more weight (uugghh)  Then for the kicker I had every one of them c-section and they cut every one of them in a different spot . So now do I not only have alot of fat from having three children that fast I now also have had three huge insitions that left me with no muscles in all those locations . I have been thinking about having this surgury for four to five years. Now finally because I now can not stand any longer for long periods of time without severe pain in my lower back , and now after the years of heavy weight have arthritis in my knees , and I am on disability , and hate that cause I have worked so hard all my life . The only bonus to it is I get to stay with my boys and be there for them . I have been going to columbia for over a year , and been on diet pills and nothing really worked . Then I had heard nothing but good things about Dr . H. , and they changed my insurance to one that he accepts , and went to seminar in july , apt with him in july , to hosp. for tests in aug . , and now a surgury date of september 10,2010 , I can not wait to change my life.



Goals that I Hope to achieve with my surgury!!!

1. Be Healthy enough to chase my three sons around .

2. Weigh under 200 lbs .

3. Be able to cross my legs.

4. Be able to care for my personal hygene properly .

5. To get the sex life my husband and I had before the weight.

6. Be able to shop at normal stores .

7. Be able to go to the amusment park with my boys and ride with them .

8. To be able to keep up with my house work by my self .

9. Be able to climb the stairs , or just even walk a distance .

10. To be able to go grocery shopping at Walmart and not have to ride a scooter.


I guess that will do for now , I am sure I will think of many others .
