Yo-yo dieting has been the story of my life. In my teens, I was anorexic-thin, but believed I was too fat, so I started to diet. Every kind of crazy diet out there. But every time I lost a few pounds, I would gain them back and they always brought friends. I dieted myself to 200# by the time I was 25, and then I figured I'd really get serious. I started paying people to help me lose weight, programs like weight watchers, nutri-system, and expensive gym memberships and sessions with personal trainers. I finally hurt my back, and three back surgeries later, I weighed 270#. Then I had kids, and 44# later, I am at my heaviest 314#. A friend at work told me she was considering WLS, and I actually tried talking her out of it. I started looking into it for her sake, thinking I could uncover the BAD, and all I found was GOOD, or not so bad. So I started considering it for myself. I am a very motivated and organized person, and within 2 months, I was approved by my insurance and had completed Phase 1 testing. I'll be getting a surgery date tomorrow! I'm scared, anxious, excited, sad, happy, and exhausted all at the same time. God-willing, my story will be a successful one.
