I have been overweight my whole life. Well maybe not when I was born, but since kindergarden. My first TOPS meeting was at age 8. It was befor church on Wednesday nights and I can remember crying all thru my choir practice when I gained. If I look back now, I wasn't THAT big. Bigger than all my friends, but maybe only 10 pounds overweight. I was on the swim team all through high school and that kept me 25 pounds or so overweight. Then after I was divorced, I put on 50-75 puonds in a short amount of time. Got married again and then had a twin pregnancy and thn 6 months later found myself pregnant again. Now I have an extra 200 pounds on me. I have finally after 3 years got approved for my surgery. I have priority Health insurance and it is the worst insurance company to go through. When I started this road my BMI was 48. Now it is 54. I am fat, but I am lucky enough not to have all the co-morbidities.
I am so excited. My surgery date is May 20th, 2008. 27 more days!!.
