Hello my name is Kima and I am a 26 yr old mother of 2 girls. I haven't always been a big girl but after I had myfirst child I went from 135lbs to 150lbs. It wasn't a big deal for me then until I got preg with my second and went from 150lbs to 200lbs even. At the time in my life I had become very depressed and food was my bestfriend. I started thinking about having the gastric by-pass back in 2004. But it wasn't until 2007 and 300lbs max when I finally decided to go all the way. I had the surgery going on a yr it will be 8/20/2008 and I am glad to report that I have lost 150lbs. I am half the woman I used to be.
This has been one of the best decisions that I have ever had to make but it has also been one of the toughest. The surgery stopped my sleep apnea and diabeties right in it's tracks.
Because I am a fatty patty as my children would call it. Learning how to eat all over again was a drag. I was pissed off all the time. 
Things paid off almost one yr and 150lbs lighter. I was happy as a fat girl but I cherish life now.
