Joanne B.
I am 28 years old and have been married to my husband Greg for 6 years. We have two girls, Savannah & Whitney, who are 3 & 2.
I am the middle child of three. I started gaining weight when I was eight and have continued since them. The weight gain started at the same time I was sexually abused. The abuse continued until I was about 13. Even after the abuse stopped, my eating habits continued. I had such bad habits. My therapist and I have spent over a year working on my eating and such. I'm so happy to have met her. She is really helping me so much.
Last year after I had my second baby, I knew I had to do something about my weight. My husband said we were going to attack it from every angle. I met with a nutrionalist, a therapist and a heath coach. During this last year, I have dealt with so many issues, some good and some bad. But I really feel that I am finally ready for this surgery if every way possible.
I just have to add that my husband is my rock. He is truly my partner in everything and in life. He met me over the internet and we connected almost immediately. We lived over an hour away from each, but we made it work. He is the one who got my to a therapist while I was still in college to deal with my sexual abuse. He is the one who married me, know that I still had dozens of issues to still deal with. He has show me that our marriage is the most important thing to him. He has helped me more than words can describe. Greg, I love you!!!
