I am 35 years old & have been heavy all of my life. I wasn't really "fat" per se as a child, but family members always referred to me as being "solid." I think that's a nice way of saying, "She's built like a tank." :-)
I was always really involved in dancing. I was actually a Hawaiian dancer from age 10 until about age 19. I loved it, but got away from it all when I went away to college.
I have 2 beautiful children (Kea is 4 & Kai is 10 months) & a VERY supportive husband. Like most, I have tried every diet known to mankind. I have a really silly sense of humor, so friends & I have discussed going to Mexico for a tapeworm, performing our own liposuction with a shop vac & "eating our way up to the surgery."
Who knew that the latter would actually be coming true?!
I'm currently awaiting approval from my insurance company. I can hardly stand the wait, but I know what's meant to be will be. I truly believe that this procedure is going to be a real blessing...for me & my family.
