I have been pretty much overweight all my life. I hated being young and being made fun of so much, who hasn't right. I met up with an old friend, and ended up marrying him when i was 22. He was good to me, I was comfortable... too comfortable... I gained over 100 pounds in my 5 year marriage. We separated. But by this time I was already huge, my ankles and legs were always so swollen and it hurt to walk, when I could walk. I also ended up with high blood pressure that gave me the most horrible migranes I ever had in my life, these migranes would make me puke even, and with everyone of them it was a trip to the hospital for a shot. 8 years later I met another man, of whome I married, I have been with Jim almost 5 years... we have been married almost 1 year. I used to smoke, quite heavily actually, I quite in July 2006, it will be two years. Before i quiet smoking i started looking into WLS. I did the reserch got the referal and off i went. I had my appointment in September 2005, in November 2006 I seen the social worker and the Dietician, and follow up with the Surgeon. I was approved for Surgery. It was in October 2007 that I got the call . I would be having surgery on December 18th 2007. Wow, what a way to end the year and start a new one ! I was sooooooooooo excited !! I started my Optifast on December 4th.... * omg that stuff is absolutly horrible* I lost 17 pounds on it. Well, here i am, losing weight, feeling better and looking forward to a much brighter future !!
