this is my story,,when i was a kid under 7 yrs old i was so skinny they told me i looked like never ate..well didnt that change! when i was 7 i feel off a ladder going into a pool and broke my right wrist.. i went to school and i had a teacher that felt i had to do the work and needed to write with my left hand..she wasn't a nice teacher at all..i took it very personal and to heart. im not blaming her for my weight gain but that is where it started..i can remember being chunky..all the way through my teens..it was slow but it was happening..20 lbs over 30 lbs over 40 lbs over..i kept it there for a long while..do the yoyo diet thing all my life..up 20 down 30 up 40 down 50 just a complete mess..even did a liquid diet..seemed the only time i could control it was when i ate nothing..so i went into a marriage about 25 lbs over weight..that was when i was 24..got pregnant right away and gained sixty lbs..then 9 mths later and 20 lbs down i again got pregnant.up sixty more lbs..this time was bad because at this point i knew i was very unhappy in my marriage and now had two young children and no hope and no support. back to the yoyo diet thing and being unhappy was winning. i just gave into it..i guess that was what i was doing all the way around in my life..so it fit.. Two of my friend had WLS..they were looking better ever day..they didn't get the sick look i thought everyone who had WLS got..then i was afraid of being sick all the time.. excuses i know! a year went by and i just couldn't believe how igreat they looked..i was getting ready to get on a mission..a mission i wanted for myself for once..i talked to everyone and went all over the internet looking for everything..good and bad on WLS i wanted to know totally what i was getting into..i had my husbands support and he was being just wonderful i couldn't believe it. I made up my mind in Oct 2005 This was what i was going to do and set out to have everything completed and ready to go to have this asap. I had every appointment done by dec1 except one i had to wait till the end of DEC... last appointment done..i was dying i just couldn't wait. got my date jan 18..i was just going insane waiting for the date..every emotion was pushing out...then the hubby turned on me and was against it and started telling me if i left him he will kill me.. a day before i had surgery i broke out in a rash only on my stomach..i went to the hospital and they checked me..sent me home..i was so upset..he said he would try again next week..that week was such hell for me! so i went on the 24th and i was fine..thanks god!
