I recall when I was growing up as a child being bigger than other kids. I was always tall for a girl and can remember being taller than the boys. But, my height was a thing I loved about myself. I liked being the tall girl and always wanted to be taller than I am. I wanted to hit 6 foot. (I'm 5'10")I enjoyed people telling me that I was getting so big (as in height). When I hit puberty I remember being very self concience about my body. I wore turtle necks and buttoned my shirts to the top and was very embarrased about my body. I had a very big fear of showing my body in front of a doctor. I sometimes wondered what people thought of me. I remember switching from Junior plus girls clothing into a womans size 14. I would love to be in a size 14 now. But, when I was 13 years old, noone in my class wore a size 14. I went to my prom in a size 16 dress and was 190 lbs as a high school student. I dreaded the thought of getting over 200 lbs. After high school I went above that mark. I went up to 230 lbs and squeezed into a size 18 when I was 18 years old. At 20 yrs old, I had my daughter and after her I went up to 265 lbs. One year later I was pregnant again and had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. I kept my diabetes under control during my pregnancy and lost 11 lbs during my pregnancy and delivered a healthy 9 lb 6 oz baby ( the doctor wasn't concerened with my weight lose because I was already obese). After the pregnancy, I was starving from all the food I couldn't eat and wanted all the cake, candy and sugar I couldn't have during my pregnancy. I remember eating junk food right after I gave birth. I even wanted my grandmother to make me no-bake cookies because I craved them for 3 months of my pregnancy and felt deprived of sugar. I quickly put on weight. I went through some depression during the post-pardumperiod and ate even more. I soon reach 285. I went through a divorce and then got remarried and I was really happy in my new marriage and gained 10 more pounds and reached 295. I hated to go above 300 so I dieted and lost 30 lbs. Then I got pregnant again and after the pregnancy I have went back up to 295. That is the weight I am at now.
I know a few people who have had surgery done. But, recently a family member has had the Duedenal Switch procedure done and has had amazing results. After talking about it with him, I have decided I also want it done. I have spoken with other people who have had gastric bypass surgery and they have all been very happy. I have wanted to have the surgery for a while. But, now is the perfect time in my life for it.
