hi! my name is cheryl, i'm 34 years old. i am a mother of three beautiful children, nick 12, gracie 9 and drew 8. i;ve been married 13 years to my wonderful husband robert. i've always struggled with my weight from even a child. as a teenager i did lose some weight only to gain it back. i tried every diet known to man. after i was married we started having kids right away. my last 2 were 15 mths apart. i had not lost the weight for #2 when i got pregnant with #3. after that i kinda just gave up and decided i was going to be fat the rest of my life. so for 7 years i did nothing. i knew i had to do something when my size 26 would not zip w/o me laying on the bed holding my breath. i started looking into wls. i have excellent insurance and they were willing to pay for my wls if i jumped through a few of their hoops, so i did! my surgery was 10/14/2008. i'm down about 60 pounds and feeling good. i have lost some hair but the Dr. says that normal. i'm looking forward to living again. i want to do so many things. i feel like i got a second chance and i'm going to use it to it's full extent.
