Hi im  45 yrs old and have been married to my best friend and high school Sweetheart for 27 yrs. We don't have any children we just have dogs that are our kids we have several neices and nephews and Im know as the candy lady at work since I give candy to the Kids. I enjoy people and going places and just have a good time with family and friends.We have a lab a cocker spaniel we also have 2 min schnauzers. I have always had a weight problem . In the 27 yrs I been married  I have been on several diets weight watchers, nutri system, over the counter diet pills I did lose weight with all these but I just gained it back with more. And in July 2001 my husband was hurt in an oil field accident and is disable he can't work because of all the pain he is in andhe has to take lost of meds daily.   So by  April 2001 I was at my heavest between 245-250lbs. So I tried several diets aof course it was the yo yo .So in Dec 2004 I got on the Adpex diet pill I took them for 3 three years. And in 2005 I saw Dr Walton in Enid but my insurance don't pay and I didn't know how I could pay for this. So I kept taking the diet pills and Yes I did loose to 176lbs by July 07 but I deciced to stop taking the pills I was haveing trouble rembering things and since I work in a pharmacy that wasn't a good deal. Then the weight started coming back on I got back up to 220lbs before we went to the Weight Wise Seminar and When Amy spoke about her weight and how she had gained and lost and all she could think about from the moment she woke up was what she was going to eat . My husband and I said she must be talking about me.  And when Dr Boussard said only 3% of the people keep their weight off that does diets. I had made up mine mind that I need this tool to be able to keep this weight off. I do have high cholestrol and I know my husband health isn't going to get any better. So I have to take care of my self  and get healthly. I set up app. with Dr Walton which we had saw when he was in Enid several yrs ago. So I knew I wanted Dr Walton  My 1st app.was Sept 26th I saw everybody and on that Day to my Suprise my weight was 199lbs  Dr Walton told me I couldn't gain any more or he wouldn't do the Surgery. I was put on a 1200 cal diet and I followed it. The Day of Surgery I was 192.  From the Time I saw Dr Walton to my surgey was 1 month. I had my surgery on Oct 22nd 2008 YEA!!!!! My ins. Does Not pay for weight lose. They want to pay for drugs and other problems go figure!!!!

My husband has been wonderful and has always tried to help me lose but this time I know I will make it and be able to keep it off.
