I HAVE BEEN ON THIS JOURNEY FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. BACK IN OCTOBER 2004 I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY LIFE BY HAVING WLS. I GOT MY APPORVAL WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL AND HAD A SURGERY DATE SET FOR DECEMBER 15, 2004. I HAD ALL MY TESTING DONE AND WAS SET TO CHANGE MY LIFE. BUT THE DAY BEFORE MY SURGERY, MY SURGEON HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND HAD TO CANCEL MY SURGERY. I WAS DEVASTATED, BUT I FIGURED THAT IT JUST WASNT MEANT TO BE. MY HUSBAND THEN GOT OUT OF THE MILITARY AND WE HAD TO MOVE BEFORE I COULD HAVE MY SURGERY. ON JANUARY 16, 2005 I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND CHILD. IF I HAD HAD THE SURGERY WHEN I WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSE TO, MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY WOULD NOT BE HERE. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!! MY SON WAS BORN IN SEPTEMBER 2005, HEALTHY AND HAPPY!!! DURING MY PREGNANCY I ONLY GAINED 6 POUNDS AND THEN LOST 25 WITH IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING MY SON. SO THAT GAVE ME HOPE THAT MAYBE I COULD LOSE WEIGHT ON MY OWN WITHOUT SURGERY. I HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN ABLE TO LOSE MORE THAN 5 POUNDS. SO NOW HERE I AM IN FEBRUARY 2007, BEGINNING MY JOURNEY AGAIN. I NEVER LOST MORE THAN THOSE 25 POUNDS DESPITE HAVING PICKED UP A LOVE FOR WORKING OUT (I WORK OUT 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR 85 MINUTES A DAY). I AM READY TO BEGIN MY NEW LIFE!!!
