My name is Della Denato. I am 18 years old.

I first considered surgery when I was 16 years old, I had read about it before, but I soon pushed it back into my head, thinking I could fix my problem by excersising and eating right.

--Wrong, neither one of those worked for me.. and soon I had a 300 pound heavy problem.

When I was 17, my mom brought up the Idea of having surgery, and this time, her and I were BOTH thinking about it. It was a lot easier to make up my mind once I knew how my mom felt about it.

My mom had surgery before me, April 2006. It was hard to see her in the hospital, and it made me scared, it made me wonder if I could actually go through with it.

My Aunt also had the surgery January 2006.

My boyfriend was supportive the entire time, I was scared of his reation, worried he might not like me afterwards, of think that I was hideous before...

I had Surgery June 12th, 2006.

At first, I cried, a LOT, It felt like a huge regret EVERYDAY.

It was hard for me, I wasn't use to monitoring myself, and watching everything I ate.

I didn't feel good, for the first month or so. I kept telling myself I made the biggest mistake of my life, and I was confronted by everyone in my family telling me the opposite.

Fast forward a couple of months, and I started to feel normal again, and I felt better about myself, I didn't feel huge anymore, or ugly.

Now it has almost been a year since surgery, and I am 6 Months pregnant =). And I am 100 pounds lighter (And that is with baby weight) =).

I'm glad I had this surgery.. it gets hard sometimes.. but I have my mother, and boyfriend here to help.
