I have been overweight most of my life. It was so bad in school, I weighed about 180 lbs. In high school though, that is considered alot and kids are very cruel. I managed to lose about 50 pounds after high school, but then got pregnant. I have not been small since!!! I have tried every "diet" known to man, but manage to gain everything and then some back. I have thought about gastric bypass surgery for the last 5 yrs but just wasn't ready. We were very grateful in our area to have Dr. Alan Brader join the hospital where I work. After going to an informational seminar that he had, I instantly knew that it was time. I felt extremely comfortable with him and I could tell he is the surgeon that I have been waiting for. I have 4 children at home who depend on me to take care of them and right now I cannot do that job very well due to my weight. I am in pain alot and I am tired of feeling this way!! My process has actually moved fairly quickly. I met with Dr. Braders' team in March and I am scheduled for surgery July 22nd. I am excited to say the least. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous but I can honestly say, not yet! I am ready for this new journy in my life and I am commited to keeping the change and staying healthy from here on out.
