TYSHEA PERKINS
I was 26 yrs old, 5'11 and 315lbs when I began my journey into having weight loss surgery inDecember 2004. I was interested in having wieght loss surgery for myself because I noticedeveryday how my weight affects my life. I have two beautiful sons Tyshiem and Tymier and a verysupportive and loving significant other name Shannon, who has been by my side through my wholejourney. I love my children and Shannon with all my heart and I wanted to make sure that I could be the best that I could be for them. My surgery date was March 3, 2005; as of September 2005
I am down 100 pounds. I am now 27 years old; I have a goal weight of about 150-165 lbs.
Update: It is October 16, 2006 I have lost over 150lbs of my excess weight andI have had an Anchor cut Tummy Tuck approved by my insurance company. I am28 years old now enjoying my weight loss and loving the way that I look. I wantto say to the people out there that think losing this weight was easy and it makeseverything better…THAT IT IS NOT…IT’S HARD AND I STRUGGLE WITH ITJUST LIKE YOU. But my entire journey has been what I have made it. This ismy personal journal as well as a reminder to myself to never forget what it usedto be like before I had wieght loss surgery. If anyone out there has anyquestion or just wants to talk to a fellow WLS’s, I am here anytime just dropme a line. I thank OH and BAF for all their support.
