I have been obese since I was in college... I yo yo dieted throughout the past ten years and am tired of the weight and the feelings that go along with being fat.

My husband is very athletic and when we started dating I was at an all time low of 130... I gradually added weight back on and after 2 pregnancies found myself at 236.

I know there is a thin me under here - I have seen her before!

Today is July 23rd 2008.  I am sending in paperwork to a surgeon to see if he is willing to take me as a patient.  I pray that the process will move quickly and safely.  I want to enjoy my life, run around with my children, and feel healthy again.

Here are my (day of surgery) stats:

Height: 5'0"
Starting Weight: 232.5
Starting BMI: 45.6

2 months out:
-33.9 lbs
198.6 lbs
BMI:38.8
