After having WLS in 2006 - i became pregnant 10.5 months later. What a joy! Its amazing how weight loss primes your body to get pregnant! I had issues trying to get pregnant before WLS.

I delivered a baby girl in 2007 and 4 months later got pregnant again! LOL I delivered another baby girl in 2008! Healthy little bundles of joy!

Because the pregnancies were so close together I never had a chance to lose the baby weight from the first before I got pregnant with the second...

Needless to say...I am horrified that I have put on about 40 extra lbs! I am working on getting it off still and its 2011!! I still feel pretty wonderful but sad that I let myself down with the weight gain!

My friend LIsa told me that I needed to update my page to give some motivation to all of you beautiful men and women out here on ObesityHelp.

I had my surgery October 9th. On the surgery day I weighed in at about 305 lbs. I stand 5'9 inches tall. 

I was not prepared for the amount of pain that I would feel after surgery. The morphine didn't even touch the pain in the hospital. I just knew that I had made the wrong decision. After about two weeks, the pain diminished totally. I didn't need the codeine or anything else for that matter. I started back to work 3 weeks after surgery and back to the gym 4 weeks after surgery for some walking on the treadmil.. After the 5th week I was lifting weights and working out a little bit harder. I have noticed some major changes in my body. Dropped from a size 24 to a 16-18 in JUST TWO MONTHS! IMAGINE THAT!!

I can eat just about anything now. I have never thrown up and have never had the so-called "Dumping Syndrome".  I am just taking it all in stride. This new feeling I have inside my soul is amazing! I feel awesome! If anyone has questions...Just ask! I am more than willing to chat, or lend support whatever way I can!


As of today I weight approximately 240 lbs. Yep that means I have lost about 65 lbs in 2 months.
