Hi everyone I am new to all this so please bear with me. I will tell you alittle bit about myself first. I am 35 years old and have struggled with my weight for most of my life. today I weigh 430lbs and have PCOS , thyroid disease, and degenerative disc disease as well as IBS and a few other medical issues.I am currently at my highest weight of 430 but I have been as small as a size 14 - 16 when I moved home from college in 1992. Anyway I have known several people over the years that have had gastric bypass but until this year have said I could do it the old fashioned way...And I have been able to lose 80lbs a couple of times over the years by going to the gym 6 times a week no sugar no carbs but then I always gain it back and then some. So God sent me an angel this year that convinced me to do it and I am not looking back its the best decision I have ever made.
I am married to the best husband in the world we have been married since 12/18/99 but been together since 1992. He loves me fat or smaller (cause yall know I ain't never been skinny). Anyway I have a super supportive mom and a few other supporters my system is small but super strong and thats what matters. I love life and can't wait to get back to the business of living it. I am currently waiting to get a date I am in surgical review about to go to insurance approval so please pray for me.
