I have had weight issues all my life, but the biggest problems started in 1997 when I had a miscarriage and my hormones went out of control. I gained about 80 pounds due to low thyroid and Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome in less then a year. It took 18 months and six doctors to figure out what was causing the severe weight gain and other complications.
Starting in 2000 I started trying to lose the weight, and over the next six years I tried many diet and exercise programs including; Jenny Craig twice while exercising at a gym, Weight Watchers, Bally's Fitness Center with a personal trainer, I attempted Atkins diet for almost one year. I had an exercise class setup by Fired Up performing arts studio, and I tried B6 & B12 shots.
As you can see I have attempted to lose weight for a number of years; some of diets provided short term success like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and Atkins. however eventually I plateaued and then the weight came back, no matter how hard I tried. I am very excited about this WLS and the opportunity its going to provide for myself and my family.
