|   Hi My name is Chris. I have been on this journey for a while now and would love for you to travel with me,so go grab a cup of coffee or a protein drink and enjoy yourself. I started gaining weight when I got pregnant with my kids. I gained 50 lbs with the first one and never really lost that before I got pregnant again. Yeah you guessed it I gained more and lost a whole lot less. I went on a very unorthodox diet and lost a 100 lbs I even kept it off for around 5 years YUP put it back on I tried to quit smoking and put on 40 lbs so I told myself that is enough of that and started smoking again. Never lost that weight and kept adding for a couple of more years okay maybe for more than a couple of years. So the smarter half of me said enough now you really do need to quit smoking so off we go again MORE WEIGHT!!! But on the brighter side I no longer smoke as of October 15, 2004!!! 
I started looking into WLS in May of 2005. At first I had no clue about anything and I was too embarrassed to ask anybody. I hung around this site for a long time just lurking but learning A LOT!!! I went for my first orientation in August of 2005. My husband and I talked about it for a long time never really looking into his insurance so it was put on the back burner. Well that pot kept simmering in my mind and it finally just boiled over. I realized I had to have this surgery.  I have had Acid Reflux for a better part of 10 years. I would wake up and the first thing I would do is Throw up so needless to say I damaged my esophagus. I was diagnosed with Barretts esophagus in January 2006 stage 2 and progressing so I really needed to do something quick. My Dad had esophageal cancer and I was heading down the same road I had a bunch of other little things wrong so I got the full hearted blessings from both my Drs so I gave Dr. Wallace the call and got my consult scheduled THE BEST THING I EVER DID!!!!  So as they say the rest is history and is continued in my blog so please keep checking back often and leave me some comments and Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you for visiting and remember nothing taste as good as thin and healthy feels!!!   | You scored as Spring. You are SPRING. Ever optimistic, you readily greet each day with an open mind, and with gladness in your heart knowing that even should life share its dimness with you, the sun -will- come out.
