Angelica F.
I am 29 yrs. old. I have a seven yr. old daughter and just gave birth to a wonderful baby boy (who's now 3 months) have been with my kids father for 12 yrs. I have always been big, and due to my height (5' 9") I have been able to hide most of this FAT. I've come across alot of people who don't believe I weight 290 pds. My highest is 290 pds.
5 yrs. ago I thought that I was going to the extreme measure when I went to Dominican Republic and had a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. I must say that coming from the spanish heritage, I never craved to be thin. Before doing the surgery I was 268 pds. When I got back from D.R. I went down to 228. I was happy. I had a nice waist, no stomach, and I had my hips and a nice booty... lol. I thought I was still big, but I was thick in a good way. Now 5 yrs. later, I've gained all the weight back and then some. It looks horrible. I feel horrible. Most of my weight went to my arms and back.
After doing much research, and thanks to a friend of mine who had the Gastric Bypass surgery, who's also a member here. I've come to the conclusion that I want to get the RNY done. Thanks to this site, I feel more confident. I found that I'm not out here alone with the same struggle. It amazed me how many people that I've read their profile, has had (or still has) the same problems I do/did. I can't begin to tell you how many days I have logging into this site and checking people's profile. The more I do it, the more I'm convinced that this is something that I have to do.
I welcome you on my Journey, and please feel free to comment...
