My story is just at the beginning...in my opinion at least. I'm 23 years old, a senior at Sam Houston State University, and graduating in May. I hope to be an elementary school teacher in the fall. My weighest weight was 226, which is a lot on a petite 5'2 frame. I was disgusted with my weight and it affected every part of my life. I have a family history of diabetes and was pre-diabetic myself so that was weighing heavy on my mind.
In November 2010, I noticed that I wasn't getting much rest and realized that I had developed sleep apnea. I know that I could not continue on at the weight I was. I made a consultation with Dr. Spiegel in December and set my surgery date for 1/11/11. I have not looked back since.
