Hi, everyone. Im Alesha. Im from Michigan. Well, my story goes a bit like this. I've been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I can remember getting on the scale at my cousins house when I was in the 5th grade and it said that I weighed 160!! I was devasted to be that young and weighed so much. I felt as if I could do something about it that day. But my plans soon went out the door. Especially because I was super young.

I can remember being in high school. I was very popular. I knew everyone. I was never depressed or sad about my weight as I got older. I was always so happy. Always energetic...well most of the time. I always loved to run, and liked to have fun. I had alot of friends in high school. My friends and I always went out. The difference between my friends and I was that they could always shop in the Junior's department whenever we would go to the mall, and me, I shopped in the plus size section.

I first thought about having the surgery when I was in my senior year of high school. I started reading about it and watching the procedures get done on the internet. And it really helped that a very close family member of mine had the surgery as well.

I started really wanting the surgery around October of 2008. I felt that I was a great candidate. I have no health issues. and Im pretty healthy despite my weight. Other than that, Im your normal 19 year old girl. Happy and all.
