I am 34 years old, I have a wonderful family. My husband and 2 kids are my world.
We own a swimming pool construction company and work together. (wow that is hard sometimes)
My brother passed away in Aug. and that is when I decided that i would "go for it"
He died in a car accident, but he always lived life to the fullest- sky diving, bungie jumping, trips on his motorcycle in the mountains etc... Me on the other hand , I live kind of quietly and conservatively, so since i had to self pay, i could never spend that kind of money on myself- (especially with kids) kind of seemed selfish.
but when i was diaginosed with high blood pressure and pre diabetes, sleep apena and major back issues- i decided i needed to live better- not only for me- but for my children.
First i quit smoking, after 7 months, then i decided to go for the consultation.
I had been overweight since I was about 13- up and down- I finally had the courage to go for a consultation.
I thought about the lap band at first- but after my consultation- I decided on The gastric bypass.
I had my RNY in Dec. at the "Clevland Clinic"
My surgery process was fairly quick because I was self pay.
At first i thought "what did i do to myself" it was "rough" that first day or so, But at almost 4 weeks post op- I am very happy, and love my results so far.
