My Story.. Where to begin, I'm 35 years old, and as most of us in this site, have been battling obesity most of my life. I started gaining weight when I hit my teen years, my heaviest was around 280# at about 22 years old, since then I stayed at around 240-250 lbs and managed to lose about 35-40 lbs at a time, always going back to the 240-250 range after I would break whichever diet I was on.
I'm so excited that after only 3 months post-surgery not only have I lost almost 50 lbs, but I'm completely medicine free.. the fact that I don't have to take all the diabetes medications I was on, it's a true blessing.
as far as sizes the day of the surgery I was wearing pants size 18-20 (mostly 20), and now I'm happy to report I'm wearing a size 16 and in some styles size 14 pants and size 12 dress :)
I'm praying that one day in the future when I reach my goal weight I may be able to conceive and have a healthy beautiful baby (so which me luck!!)
Have a great day everyone!!
