About me... My name is Tereasa. I'm 35 years old, married and I have a son (13) from a previous relationship and my husband has a daughter (16) and a son (11) from a previous relationship.

My husband is VERY supportative of my decision to have this surgery. Thank the Lord because without him, I would drive myself even crazier! I have only told a few close family members of my decision and of the fact that the ball is now rolling on it. So far, I have a pretty good support group.

A little bit of history... I haven't always been overweight. Of course I was small in high school. Most of my friends say I was too small. But, of course, I thought I was a cow. I didn't weigh over 106 lbs! Geeze what was I thinking?! If only I could go back... After high school is when I started gaining weight. I got pregnant at the age of 21 and at that point, I weighed 170 lbs. I was 210 lbs when I delivered my son and boy did I feel every pound of it. I had to have a c-section to deliver him and I had lost a lot of blood due to a torn artery while they pulled him out. I was sick and weak for a while and in 3 weeks after delivery, I had lost 50 lbs. I actually felt good though. I was smaller than I was when I got pregnant. But, it didn't last long. I slowly started gaing the weight back. By 2004, I weighed 200 lbs again. I don't know how it happed. I have tried many diets over the years after my son was born and I would lose 20-30 lbs, but gain it all back and then some. 

So, here I am at my heaviest of 267 lbs. I feel really unhealthy and it's scaring the crap of my husband and me. I want to be able to do more! I want to live a life!! I feel like I am trapped in my own skin.

So... this is it... This is where I get it all back!
