Hello, i'm "mandy" and i am very overweight, and i am going to do something about it. I am 29 yrs. old and a mother to the most wonderful boys in the world. My oldest (Caleb) is 10yrs. old and my youngest (Trevor) is 8yrs. old. I love being a mom, but feel that I am not giving my children enough of me because of my weight. I am planning on having rny surgery. My doctors office just submitted the paper work to my insurance today (2/24/2010). I have Anthem BC/BS and rny is something they do pay for. I am super excited to have a new life. I am currently 5'6" and weight about 265. I can not believe I just told that, but if my story can help anyone in the world out, i want to!!! I live in southern Ohio, with my husband and 2 boys. I have not been over weight my whole life, just in the last 10 yrs. (after giving birth to my boys). In high school i was very athletic and was a cheerleader and tumbled, so i was fit! I have tried diets in the past, but can not seem to keep the weight off.
