ERIN S.
HI MY NAME IS ERIN, AND THIS IS MY STORY:
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD I CAN REMEMBER DEALING WITH BEING OVER WEIGHT. BUT MORE SO AS AN ADULT.
I am 27 years old... And not getting any thinner....Just fatter.....I am at my heaviest weight ever.....315lbs...
I'M HAPPILY MARRIED TO MY HUBBY JOE, GOING ON FIVE YEARS OF MARRAGE AND TEN YEARS OF JUST BEING TOGETHER! WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN MY DAUGHTER KALEI IS 8 YEARS OLD AND MY SON DARREN IS 7YEARS OLD! COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER FAMILY!
BEFORE I HAD MY DAUGHTER I WAS ABOUT 160 SOMTHING POUNDS. AFTER CHILD BIRTH I WAS AROUND 200LBS. THEN I HAD MY SON AND GAINED EVEN MORE WEIGHT AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP ANY OF THE WEIGHT OFF. YOU KNOW I'VE TRYED EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN AND NOTHING WORKS. I'VE NEVER BEEN BIG ON EXERCISING. BUT I HAVE JOINED THE GYM A FEW TIMES AND ALWAYS END UP GIVING UP. THE LAST TIME I JOINED A GYM I WAS SO EXICITED I JOINED A FEW DIFFERENT CLASSES: STEPPING, KICK BOX ABS AND A WEIGHT TRAINING CLASS, AND AT THE BEGINING IT WAS GOING GOOD WENT THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS UNTILL MY LEFT KNEE GAVE OUT ON ME, SO I WAS STILL GOING BUT JUST WALKING SLOWLY ON THE TREADMILL. SO AT MY SIX MONTH RENEWAL I DIDNT DO IT. HAVENT DONE ANYTHING SINCE .THAT WAS A YEAR AGO!
SO HERE I AM WONDERING WHAT THE BEST THING IS FOR ME? I'VE DONE ALL MY RESEACH ABOUT HAVING BARIATRIC SURGERY. AND HAVE MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH THE SURGEON MARCH 1ST. I VERY EXCITED!
MY HUBBY IS VERY SUPPORTIVE . HE IS SCARED AND DOSEN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF SURGERY AT ALL, BUT HE IS TRYING TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF MY NEEDS. I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO REASURE HIM THAT IT IS FOR THE BEST,THIS IS FOR MY LIFE AND I WANT TO LIVE A LONG HEALTHLY LIFE!
