My story? Where do I begin? I am a 30 year old single mother of a wonderful 10 year old son. I have really suffered, and I really mean suffered with my weight my entire life. My son is 10 and I really can't blame my weight on baby weight anymore :}! I have done every diet and exercise program out there and the weight indeed melted away but it came back with a vengeance! At 309 lbs, I decided enough is enough. I love to travel and the days of not being able to fit in the airplane seats without a seatbelt extender or going to an amusement park and not being able to ride with my son are soon to be over! I always thought that WLS was the easy way out, that it was the way for lazy people to lose weight, but after much research and speaking to patients who have went through it I have had an awakening. I want to be around for my son, 10,20,30,40,50+ years from now, I want to be able to enjoy my life, be able to do the things that I want to do and the things my son deserves of me! I am on a wonderful journey with lots of bumps along the way I am sure but I am prepared and ready!!!!!!!!!!
