Laura T.
My name is Laura and am 25 years old. Where should I start. Most of my childhood I was a normal sized kid. It wasn't until after high school that the weight started to creep up. I'm sure it had to do with no activity and living off of frozen pizza and chips in college!! Since then, I have struggled every day with my weight. I've had moments where I have convinced myself that this is how I'm supposed to be, and then other days I'm so disguisted with myself. I have tried just about every diet out there, 10 times!! Weight watchers always seemed to work for me, but the weight loss would never last. I would always gain the weight back, plus more. I was tired of being a failure. I felt that I was a successful person in many areas of my life, but weight loss was not one of them. Admitting failure has been very difficult. How could losing weight be that hard??!! But I have yet to succeed. So almost a year ago, I started researching WLS. I was scared to tell my family that I was thinking of having the surgery done. My mom finally approached me and asked if I was interested in it. (Guess I was bringing the subject up more than I had thought). From that point on, I knew this was for me. Just having my family behind me, has made the biggest difference. I can't wait to start my life. This will bring so many changes and I'm so excited to start this journey.
