I am 30 years old, and I've been married since 1995. I have two children, Ty who is 11, and Ashleigh who is 8.
I have been heavy most of my life, but most of my weight was added during my pregnancies.
I never thought that one day I would have weight loss surgery. I always thought I could "do it on my own". Like many others, I have tried just about every diet out there, even putting my health at risk by starving myself. Each time I lost weight I'd put it all back on plus some. In January 2008, my primary Dr. made the suggested that I have WLS. I was so against it. But the more I prayed about it the more it sounded good, really good.
My family is VERY supportive about my decision. My kids are 100% behind me, I think I've answered every question they've thrown at me. I haven't told many people outside my family except my close circle of friends. I know that they hold me up in prayer everyday. I really do covet those prayers. I need them!
So, here I am embarking on this journey to change the rest of my life! I am so excited but yet apprehensive at the same time. It's hard to go into something and not know what really will happen. But, I know with every fiber of my being that it is worth everything!!
