I started my surgery journey in October of 2003 after many many years of every diet, fad, exercise program, etc. I didnt have to wait long and i had my surgery on 2/27/04. The day of surgery i weighed 448 pounds and my BMI was like 74. I did very well the first 8 months...then i got pregnant with my son. The pregnancy was stressful but went smoothly enough. My son was born on 8/4/05 and weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. He was perfectly healthy and a happy baby. I didnt gain much with him until the very last few weeks when i gained like 25 pounds so they induced me at 38 weeks for fear of toxemia or whatever it is. When i delivered him i was 334 lbs. I got down to 296 within a couple of weeks. Then i slowly gained it back. When he was 8 months old i got pregnant again. This time i gained only 2 pounds. My daughter was born on 11/26/06 and she weighed 6 lbs 5 oz. When i delivered her i was 343. Within a few weeks i was down to 288! That is what i am at right now and i am trying to stay on track. I am married to a wonderful man, Rob. We got married on 6/29/02. He has been a pain at times, but that is how it goes. He has loved me through it all and been my rock. So, in a nutshell, that is my story!
