Hi, I am 32 years old. I am a mother of 3 beautiful boys. 14 years, 9 years, and 13 months. I was over 350 pounds when i was pregnant this last time. How horible it was to go to the doctors and not be able to get wieghed anymore because the scale went up to 350 . So I got very scared and started looking into something I could do. I had problems getting up the stairs because my knees hurt awful. I had hurt my back during pregnancy and was litterally bed ridden for 2 months. the rest of the pregnancy was really hard i even developed hypertension. high blood pressure. I ended up having my 3rd c-section it was good. I instantly felt better. This was in dec of 07'. by march i found dr.g. office. Alene was the best. I found out they would take medicaid I went in and found that i had to use a cpap machine for sleep apnea. I weighed 338 when i did my surgery for lapband in May. I go to the support groups but I need more. I see mental health for my depression, and family. I have great support my boyfriend chris is wonderful. and his mom adrianne. great great people im am blessed. But i still need more help. I learned that I had a problem with food- I LOVE IT. So it makes for a Big struggle. I didnt think I was overeating. untel I had the surgery. I get a fill every now and than. My biggest problem is I eat toooo fast. I need to slow down. I think that this will help keep me in line. Knowing that there is others going thru the same problems. It will be like having support group everyday. I cant wait to meet new people. anyways it has been 9 months and Ive lost 42 pounds, I weigh 297.My bmi started at 55, now its at 50. Thats 5. WOW.
