My story. Where shall I begin?  Growing up, I was always the skinny one in the family. My parents used to tease me about being so skinny that they could count each rib! After puberty, I would do the yo-yo thing. My weight would go up and down constantly. If I noticed my weight didn't come off easy, I would just diet for a week or so, and I was back to my old self. That all changed when I became pregnant with my first daughter. I went from 185 pounds to weighing 98 when she was born. After that, my weight just spiked!! When my second daughter was born, I gained around 20 pounds with that pregnancy, which was ok because I thought it would just fall off. Wrong!!!! I slowly became heavier and  heavier and by the time my third daughter was born, I was the biggest I'd ever been.

After her birth in 2002, my weight spun out of control. I'm to the point now, that I have to take a breath at times during a conversation because I'm exhausted. The crazy thing is that my BP and sugar is fine. My thyroid is fine and all my levels for my body are normal. I'm hoping to get my surgery done soon so that I can avoid problems in the future. So to sum it all up. I've been heavy since I was 16 years old and my weight has gottne worse. I'm looking to have the RNY done so that I will be able to have a wonderful life with my husband and kids.
