My Story where do I begin. I am 27 about to be 28 am married with two children. I am at the heaviest i have ever been and was diagnosed with high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and depression. Which i am now beginning to realize may be from my weight. I have been overweight ever since i gave birth to my first son 8 yrs ago. It is really hard for me because i remember what it feels like to buy a size ten. My weight has gotten so out of control i am literally in pain and nothing is helping. I have tried weight watchers, jenny craig, the gym with a personal trainer and am having no luck. As of lately my sleep apnea is getting worse and i have now decide i need a medical intervention. My deciding factor was when my 8 yr old got off the school bus and was crying i said what happened my son through sniffles tells me "the boys on the bus were teasing me" I say "About what".
"the t-shirt daddy has on says I LOVE HOT MOMS and the boys on the bus go but your moms definetely not hot!.
I felt terrible that my son felt so bad because I know kids can be cruel but my son also told me he wished i was skinny like him and daddy so i could play with them more! So I knew than my weight wasnt only affecting me but my family as well. So if anyone has any advice on wls i would really love to hear it. Oh I am considering the lap band.I will be going to a seminar here in Atlanta the 5th of sept hope all goes well....
