I am a 30 year old mother of 2 and happily married to the love of my life. Personally, I didn't struggle with my weight until after my sons were born but I've always had a medium build so I don't think I was ever smaller than a size 5 in High school. My thyroid levels went undetected for years and when I finally had it tested it was rock bottom. I was in the Air Force and even with working out 5 days a week (hardcore) I could not loose the weight and then I injured my knee. So after battling it for 2 years I was medically retired only after 10 years of Active Duty service which broke my heart because I thought I was going to be a lifer. Well I was blessed to find a civilian position of the same job I did as Active Duty and I continue to serve the AF just without a uniform.
I decided to have RNY because I feel that I just need this extra boost to become healthier and live longer for my boys. I refuse to let my weight/size keep me from seeing them grow up and limit what I can do.
