Like most people on here I was heavy as a child... not so heavy in high school , I was very athletic, playing volleyball, basketball, and softball. But after high school I just seemed to gain each year. I was about 280 when my husband and I got married. My daughter was born about 9 months later and I weighed in at 317 when I went in to have her. That was three years ago. In September of 2006 I finally decided to do something about my weight gain. I went to my surgeon's WLS seminar and scheduled an appt to see him a couple weeks later. When I went to see him I was shocked, SHOCKED to see on the scale: 374. GULP
I have a looonnnggg way to go. I had my open RNY on Dec 27-- 2 days after Christmas. I got on the scale the day before yesterday and saw 319... how good that feels. I had been required to lose about 20 lbs before surgery, but I still count that as part of this wonderful journey.
