New Journey
Apr 07, 2014
My life has truly been an uphill battle since I had my lapband in 2009. I initially lost 80 pounds and then I couldn’t lose any more no matter how hard I tried. I began having a lot of marital problems, went out friends (drank way to much) and overall I ended up getting a divorce several years later. I am not in a much better spot in my life I have 2 beautiful girls who I would die for in a heartbeat. I met a man that has his flaws as does everyone but I love him regardless and he loves me no matter what.
Initially when I got my lapband surgery I weighed in over 350 pounds, I lost about 80 pounds and that was the end of my journey. Fast forward a few years and I am up to 325 and disgusted and so sad about it. I finally got up the courage to ask for a revision, knowing I had failed my lap band made it so much harder for me. I am currently waiting on approval from my insurance company and praying that it comes through soon so I can get this all started and on a roll. I am revising to RNY and people ask me what my goal is? Do I want to be skinny and look great, yes that’s great, but honestly my goal is to be there for my kids. I want to take my children to Disney world and right now I can’t/wont because of my weight I want to be able to enjoy it with them not stand by and just watch my life pass me by. I want to be a fantastic mom for my children and to show them that I am all they want me to be. Right now I get winded trying to play with them so I don’t do all they want. My oldest is a huge soccer lover and I cant even go play ball with her because I know ill be so tired that is ridiculous. I want to show my kids that hard work pays off. And I'm praying this will be the start to my new journey.
