Since I can remember age 5 maybe ... I have always been over weight . I was in denial for the longest time I used to just say I was "big boned" but really bones don't jiggle !! I guess I thought if I didn't admit I was over weight I would magically just look thin but umm NO .. doesnt work like that. I have done weight watchers like 7 times lost it and gained it back plus some extra for a bonus ! I have taken diet pills just to find my self hyper and naseaus . I have tried every fad diet known to man ... IT DID NOTHING .
A few years ago my cousin and his wife found Dr. Valin and went for a consult . My husband and I talked so much junk about them behind their backs. How they were dumb and going to kill themselves with WLS . They both ended up getting the Lap band and look fabulous now. We continued to be pesemistic and claim they took the easy way out and bragged how we would just lose our weight the good ole fashion way ( yea right !! ). About a year later ....after a lot of consideration and soul searching my husband and I finally admitted to our selves we were " jealous " !! In December of 2005 Todd had his gastric bypass . He looks like a new man and I am so proud of him for "not taking the easy way out" and staying in denial . He made the right choice to better himself and now it is my turn ...... I can't wait !!
