My name is Gina, I am a 34 year old Stay at Home Mom. I am married to a wonderful man named Esa. We have two great boys who are 3 and 9 months. I want to be around to see them grow up, get married, and have kids of their own. The way I am now that will not happen so I must end this cycle now before it is too late I have health problems.

For as long as I can remember I have been overweight. Looking back now what I thought was oveweight was actually not that bad. At 16 years old I remember wearing a size 31 waist Guess skirt and I thought I was fat. I still have that skirt and my goal is to fit back into it! When I last wore it I was about 145 pounds.

 My entire life has been one big diet. I am sure all of you can relate. At 12 I remember being on Weight Watchers. That is when it all began...WW, Low Calorie, Low Fat, Low Carb, Lindora, Redux, Phen Fen, starvation...you name it I have done it. I want this to be the end.

The main reason for getting this surgery is be healthy once and for all. I want to be able to break out of my shell. I am always afraid to try things because I don't want people staring at me. People are soooo cruel, they don't realize this is a disease. Obesity is the last form of discrimination. I hope to change people's views.  I look forward to helping others along the way.
