My name is Daisy,Im 25 yrs old and have a two yr old boy, named Ethan!  I have pretty much been over weight all my life. I've battled taunts,name calling, and depression. In 2004 I was at my 1st highest weight of 220 and started phentermine and was able to go down to 160-170 and I felt great. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with graves/hyperthyroidism and could no longer take it. In 2008 I gave birth to my son and weighed 265 during pregnancy, after I was down to about 215-220 and gained it all back to my current weight of 245. I am tired of being big, of not being who I want to be, and of feeling trapped in a body that's not mine. Yes, I have gotten myself to this point and I WILL GET MYSELF OUT! 

About a yr and half ago I started to research weight loss surgery and decided that this was something I wanted and needed to do. At that time I had insurance that covered  surgery with a high deductible and I thought I would never be able to complete the process and save $5000 plus. Things changed and I had to move back to Atlanta and started a new job where WLS surgery is not covered. I had been saving up money all this time in hopes of putting down for a house but when I turned 25 and looked around I knew that the best investment would be in my health. I am now traveling with my mom down to Mexico to see Dr. Guillermo Alvarez to have VSG and paying more than I ever thought I could afford, But YES the LORD provides.

On Feb 28th I am starting a new life. A life where I will battle with food addiction but will come out on top! I am confident that this will change my life and that I am offering a better future for my son!
