Well well well..where do I begin. My WLJ started after being sick for almost 2 years and the doctors had NO CLUE what was wrong with me. This started in 2009. Now let's go back in time,I remember my heaviest weight on a doctors scale being 292 in 2006. So who knows what I actually got up to. Fast forward to 2009...I had been working and going to school and life was taking a toll on me. Started having stomach pains and from there the journey began. The pain caused me to not be able to eat and when I did I couldn't hold it down. So in turn I was scared to eat and became very selective to what went in to my mouth. I just didn't want the pain anymore so I started changing my habits. As I changed of course the weight came off. Time passes and from a remembered start of 292lbs, I had gotten to 186 by Oct of 2010. I had lost the weight in some good ways(changing habits and working out) and others bad(STRESS). I was happy with my accomplishments but I got comfortable and went from 186 to 211 by May 2011. In May I realized I was scared that I was about to be on a downward spiral and could easily ballon back to the 290+. Well it's JULY 2011 and I'm back in the 180's. I also realized during that 7 months I knew I had lost a lotttt of weight but I still felt trapped in the old body. So an angel(my co-worker) was sent to me...she told me about the doctor who repaired her herina, Dr.Capehart. I had never considered plastics because I was scared and didn't know what to expect. Then I sat back and thought, you worked hard and this is your chance to get the physical part of your life back. Take the chance and let God work this out for you. So I went to see Dr. Capehart on June 23 to discuss having a panniculectomy. She took her time and explained everything to me and then started the submitting process. Well I'm blessed and overjoyed to say SURGERY date is AUGUST 3,2011. Just like I was given a 2nd chance by the LORD with my faults, he is now allowing me a 2nd chance with his TEMPLE(my body). It's not about weight, ITS YOUR HEALTH. We have to take it seriously. Remember its PURPOSE over PROCESS!!!!!!
