Hi my name is Erika and I am 30 yrs with 3 beautiful daughters ages 14,12 and 7.
I am a Lab tech, I have been with a wonderful man for 9 yrs. I have been obese since I was 18 yrs old just like 170 since them my weight has been going up and down my up than down, I have try slim fast, gyms, pills, meals and everything else in between I LOVE WHITE RICE. I never seen to have a problem with my weight until I hit size 26 that is went we decide to go to six flags and I was not able to get in the rides and I love roller-coasters. My sis had the surgery last May she had a lot of health issue which I don't have, finally I look around and found the Dr that will do the surgery, ins and my BMI would not be a problem is the out of pocket money that I will have to paid, I went to them in Sept 2008 and never pursue the appoiments and everything that they recomemded you to do, they called me in Jan to see my progress I told them that not right now. In March my daughter had a student council assembly and this little boy told me that I was too big to see in the sit, that hurt so bad I stood up the hold time and to my surprise my daughter hear him and she suggested that I go on a diet, this is a 7 yrs old telling me this. I went to my family Dr got his clearance and I have been going to every appointment that they need me to go. Now I am schedule to have my surgery on July 1, 2009.
