I am 42 years old..........and am starting a journey to bring myself to a healthier place. I have not always been overweight. I was so thin when I was young my uncles called me "wishbone" (yeah like the turkey one) anyway......I had my first child at 22 and went from 115lbs to a whopping 199lbs. Had toximia and hypertension to the max. It took me a long time but I did get all of my weight back off again............then I got pregnant at 29 with my son. Same song second verse...........left the hospital weighing 210 and had my second c-section. Worked really hard and got my weight off again..........yo yo's back and forth for about 3 years but still did well doing weight watchers........then had a tumor in my uterus and had to have a hystorectomy.............after a year of pain and lack of the ability to stand long much less excersize I was now at my heaviest.......240's. So here I am a woman who has struggled................but funny this is now not even about my weight!

My father has had several heart attacks. His mother died in her early 30's of a heart attack. I am on two blood pressure meds, sleep apnea, reflux, etc ....... I cannot live this life anymore! My father God bless him has such a poor quality of life and has been told that it is only his pacemaker that is keeping him alive! I look so much like my father and I cannot and will not end up like him. I cannot do that to my children! I know I have a purpose in life and I am here to life my life the best I possibly can. I am using this surgery to be my tool...........the tool I need to be able to lean on to help me loose this weight and keep it off!

I quit smoking several years ago...........just decided to do it and put them down. A two pack a day habit.......I just decided one day I wanted to do whats right for me and put them down and have NEVER touched them again. I have tremendace will power, but when it comes to weight loss it is hard to be so dedicated when the fat cells you fight so hard to shrink are just that..........shrunk down but never gone..............this is why 80% of us put weight back on so easily. I am here to loose the weight I so desperately struggle to loose alone!

I am here............to be the best..........healtiest me I can be............and to be me for as long as I can!!
