Here we go...

Jul 15, 2011

I have been big my whole life but I got really big in High School, College, and beyond.  I topped out at 386 pounds at the beginning of this year.  I finally decided enough was enough and started looking in to having Lap Band Surgery.  I met with the awesome Dr. Ben-Meir at St. Vincent here in Cleveland and he nixed the Band idea!  After some discussion and careful consideration, my mom and I decided that the Gastric Bypass would be a much better option for me.  I am now working through the insurance process and hope to have my surgery on September 19, 2011.  I am on my last month of supervised diet and have lost 21 pounds of the 20 I needed to lose.  I am getting excited , but oh so nervous!  I need all the love and support I can get so please follow along with me and help me become the person that I want to be! 

I will be Thin by Thirty!
