I don't think that I have much of a story...the same old one that every other person has. 

Here it is in fast forward:

Chubby kid...not huge just chubby

Skinny-ed up in College

Got Pregnant...had a sweet sweet little boy!

1 month later, got pregnant, lost baby

1 month later, got pregnant...had another sweet sweet little boy!

Never lost any baby weight!

Got "comfortable"...got fatter and fatter.

And so that is the skinny on how I got so fat. 

So here we are now researching weight loss surgery, there is some shame in that knowledge, that I can't take of this situation without medical intervention.  And here is the situation:

I am 27 years old, 5'3 and 265 pounds!

I am excited however, through the shame, for the chance at a healthy happy life.  One that is not plaqued by all of the problems that being fat have caused me, extreme fatigue, intense lower-back pain etc...(can you relate)!  And now here is the biggy...the make it or break it as  the case may be.  I wanna wear cute clothes.  Vanity...for shame, I know I know, but I can't help it!

I had made my mind up that I was going to move forward with the LapBand, but through some more research I am going with the RNY, for several reasons.  Number one being overall success rate!  So while I was set to go for the LapBand, now I am back at square one for RNY, researching surgeons and their programs!

I'll update more when there is more to update!
