When I started this journey I really wasn't thinking about me. My fiancee, Angel, was trying to do it. She's heavier than I am, but she's always been healthier. She had a health scare a few years ago. We were just trying to do better. I went to the informational meeting with her. It was still about her. 

I've had some issues for a while but I was content to let medicine do what it's supposed to do. Fast forward two years. My A1C has gone up since moving. It was 6.4. That scared the Hell out of me. My mother has been a diabetic since I was 13 years old. I've watched her take insulin everyday. My aunt has it. My grandmother died from it. Diabetes is a generational curse I don't want.

I decided to take control in May of this year. I was at my highest weight ever (265 lbs.). When I got approved I thought it was a dream. When I had surgery on 8/25 I knew my time for chance had come. I'm embracing this and I couldn't be happier.
