Well, let me start off by telling everyone a little about me. I just turned 24 years old November 30, 2006. I've been a big girl (fat) all my life, with the exception of a few months in high school. I no your like what, well during the middle of my freshman year in high school my mother took me to Weight Loss Management, I was in the 300+ then, and I lost weight all the way down to 189. Feeling great. I'll show you a photo, the boy in
photo was just a friend. I lost the most sum of my weight during the summer so when I went back to school the next year nobody even the teachers realize it was me, how cool was that, very. Anyway to make a long story short I got a job at Captain D's and loved the bread sticks, and you already no what happened then, all that bread stuck to me like glue, with in less than a year I had gained back most of my weight, and in 2 years i was right back at 300+. Since then I have went to several different College and Univerities Probably because I was never really able to be myself, I can remember the first class in college i took that had the old school, school desk in it and i could not fit in the seats in class, so I went up to the teacher and asked the teacher if i could see if there were any chairs and the hallway or a emty classroom because i could fit in the desk. She loudly told me to go back to my seat and squeeze in it or change classes, and thats really what i've been doing every since dropping classes and moving colleges. In October 2002 i moved back home with my mother and father from college, and also ran into my exboyfriend from high school (Doniee) we broken up on bad grounds, here is a picture of Doniee and I at the Military Ball 1998 
but he apologized over and over and said he always thought about me and was still In Love With Me. Well needles to say we got married on June 17, 2006 and we have a beautiful son named ( De'Actress ) who is 2years old.
Ok, now how i got to 430 lbs., Well when a had my son i lost alot of weight i was down to 289 lbs. but right after i had my son doniee and i moved in together and he started off working at nights, so i would cook 4 times a day. cook in the morning, cook for lunch, cook food some he could take to work, and cooked at 4 o'clock in the morning when he got off work. I gained 100 lbs. the first year we lived together, at the end of that year we moved into my first house. And i gained another 40 to 50 pounds due to i wasn't working anymore. That brings us to Now Dec. 2006.
I have been looking into Gastric bypass Surgery for the last 5 years. And to be real with you I don't no now why i didnt get it done back then and had insurance, I think it was because of my parents because i was 18 at the time. Anyway for the last 2 years strong i have been looking in to gastric bypass, and i know, i think anyway everything to do about the surgery. I have read 1000's of profiles, books, and newpaper spreads about the surgery also. I AM SO READY TO HAVE THIS SURGERY!! I started off with Cook Children Health, Medcaid. But they do not cover weight loss surgery, so the work my hubby had didnt have insurance, so my loving hubby changed jobs and got one with very good benefits United Healthcare health insurance which will starts February 1, 2007. I cann't wait, really i cannt.... I've been trying to get all those little appointment out the way like I got my Blood work done - my pcp said i'm broadline everything basiclly, sleep study done - i have sleep apnea, dietician appointment done - i need to eat better and exercise more, Psychiatric Evalution done. The reason why I started doing these things are because i read on others profile that they had to have all these thing done before surgery, so i figure if i already have it done the process can move alot faster. That is if I am approved GOD please let me be approved on the first go around and if it not to much to ask fast. I read about some more thing that some people have to have done and am making another apointment to my pcp to see if i can get some more referrals I have a list. I am also hopeing to go to a seminar at Baylor All Saint Hospital at the end of the month hopefully. I hope they can get started on my case and let me get anything else they need me to get done before February 2007, so when February gets here all I will need is to get approved and My WLS Date. I'll be so so so happy. Well I will update soon.
