My name is Veronica Durham and I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. My weight really became out of control after I gave birth to my daughter in 2001. I gained 78lbs during the pregnancy and I could not get my weight under control. By 2005 I was an overwhelming 250lbs. Doing simple things like getting dressed, tying my shoes, and walking became very hard and I developed serious back pain. I tried several different weight loss programs and nothing worked. Being overweight, I became withdrawn from my family and friends. I didn't go out and I didn't want anyone around me. Throughout my whole life, food was the center of everything. I basically lived to eat instead of eating to live.
I work with several women who Dr. Williams operated on and they all had nothing but great things to say about him. I began to do some research on the Gastric Bypass surgery and I decided that it was something that I needed to do. Although this surgery is not for everyone, it was the best thing for me. I now have a new lease on life.
