My name is Shannon, I am 35 years old, married and have 1 daughter named Summer. They are my life and I love them dearly! I have researched WLS for over a year and have wanted it done but there was always someone "talking" me out of it. Finally after numerous attempts I talked to my husband one more time and he said he would stand behind me in whatever I decided to do. That's all I needed was his support and I finally got it. I made an appointment with the surgeon and now as they say the rest is history.

I have 2 dogs, Maggie and Clint (dachshund, pit bull mix) 2 cats (Angel, Ki Ki) fish, pot bellied pig (Oscar) Guinea Pig (Jeannie) and a bearded dragon (Brutus) I love my animals!!!!
