My Name is Bethany Courchene, I live in Northern Maine with my husband of almost 12 years, my 2 children ( Jill 8, Steven 7) and our 2 dogs. My husband and I own our own store called Red's Motorsports, we cater to those who love to ride motorcycle, ATV, dirtbike and snowmobiles.
I have been over weight for about 14 years, every year I seem to get bigger instead of smaller, no matter what diet I decide to try this week. I am currently heavier then I have ever been at 230 lbs with a BMI of 38.5. I decided to have a VSG to help get this weight off and keep it off. I know if I do not have WLS I will only continue to get bigger. My biggest desire to lose weight comes from the desire to be happier & healthier for my children, so I can keep up with them. I truley just want to get back to a place that I am not self so self concious every time I leave the house. I want getting dressed in the morning to pretain to putting on 1 outfit, instead of 5 ( three of which have caused tears)
My husband is very supportive and is going without a few things he would like so we can pay for the procedure. ( we are self pay)

Thank you and God bless you all on your weight loss journey's.
