My story hmm where do I begin, I have to say I have the most understanding family in the world. They have been behind me 200% with anything I want to do in my life. I have been overweight for the last 15 yrs of my life. Starting when I was turning 16. Then I went up to 175 lbs then I found nutrisystem and my mother was behind me with support again, and she forked out the small fortune it costs. I lost weight then gained it all back, then it was jenny craig, as I continued to balloon it was then diet pills, gym memberships out the wazoo, weight watchers, diet drs, diet books, you name it I have done it even as far as trying to starve my self to the point of passing out. And now at 32 I am done with all the bullshit of dieting I want to be me again.

So then I think maybe I am supose tobe the big voluptous hottie that I am.  I am not kidding. I have never hated my self or been depressed about the weight I am to much of a confident person for all that drama. (that is me personally not to knock anyone else  remember this is my story.)  So I started to look into being one of those internet models who pose for BOD (bodacious women sites) then I thought are you crazy who wants to see your big ass on line, well apparently lots of men love it, but I am wild but not that wild. So then I decided to look into Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2005. 

I start to research it and I am all for it I make my appt with Dr Meilahn @Temple univ hosp in Phila  on Aug 8th 2005, my mother and cousin Danielle come with me with tons of questions, I felt good, my mother was hesitant and cousin was nervous, so then my mind started to race and I chickened out. I began to research it more and meet people who have had it done and then my mind was made up NO ONE WAS GOING TO TALK ME OT OF WHAT I WANT..... So Nov 21 2006  I go again to meet the Dr, now with my little brother Christopher, he is nervous and has a list for the Dr.  I am set. I start to save up again the $600 fee and something always happens that I have to fork out money for something I saved it 4 times and had to used it. Then I meet Bob on Dec 15, god he is a god sent and a great friend and I love him dearly. I only know him a week and he gives me a Christmas gift of $400 and my mom gave me the rest, I pay the fee. No turning back now its non-refundable. My life is about to change.
