Hi my name is Jen. I have always been heavy. I came from an italian family where everything was about food. All the women in my family were very heavy. I hit my breaking point when I broke my foot and my knee dislocated. My doctor told me if I didn't lose weight I would need a new knee by the time I am 35. So I tried the only fashion way and with little success I decided surgery was my best option. So I am planning on getting the BPD/DS. I am very excited about this. I want my little girls to have a roll model that they could be proud of. One that can teach them healthy living. I do not want my girls coming home crying not wanting to go to school anymore because of being called "jenny craig" or any other names I was called as a child. I have a son but he is thin just like all the males in my family are so I do not worry as much about him being obese as I do my girls.
