My Story, well let me see where it started, at birth I think.  I look at my baby photo, and I was a fat bald head little girl, and that pretty much sums up my life, except I'm not bald anymore only by choice.  My weight over the years has not kept me from doing anything, I played basketball in high school and was ok at it.  

However, over time, I've added children and as those come so does the weight, and of course being in an abusive marriage for many years did not help either.  And as the weight increased so did my health problems, so I had to contend with the usual comorbidites that accompany obesity.  Now I've decided to do something about it.  My PCPA, Lindsey Howard, is really in favor of this, as she has followed me through most of these changes.  I have four wonderful kids and 8 more beautiful grand kids.  My kids are a little afraid for me to have the surgery, but I told them that I am taking more meds than my mother was when she passed away, and I'm tired of it.  So they are either with me or not, this is going to be done, if it is a mistake, it will be totally mine to make.
