I'm a 31-year-old mother of two with a husband and 4 step-children. I've been a legal secretary for 5 years now for a criminal defense attorney and have made the decision to go back to school....again....to get my associate's degree in legal assisting/paralegal. I do the same work a paralegal does, I just don't make the money they do. That will all change soon enough.
I currently weigh 265 pounds. When I attended Dr. Lord's Weight Loss Seminar six months ago, I was up to 278 pounds - my highest weight. I've struggled with being overweight my whole life. I've tried and failed too many fad diets to count.
I was referred to a local surgeon here in Panama City in 2004 for the Roux-n-y and after attending that surgeon's seminar, I backed out. Something just didn't "feel" right. In the meantime, I've done tons of research and have determined that the field of WLS has come a great distance. My aunt had the Roux-n-y done in November of 2007 and has done tremendously. It's because of her, that I've gotten over my fears and have pushed forward with changing my life.
