Ok, where to begin. I have always struggled somewhat with my weight. Always dieting thru High School, but maintained a good weight for my height. (I have been 6 foot tall since 6th grade and 150-165 pounds). Then I got married and had kids. I had gestational diabetes with my daughter, and gained 65 pounds during my pregnancy. WOW, I was huge. I started taking Redux and it was a miracle. I was eating right, and losing weight. I got back down, and took most of my weight off, then got pregnant again with my son. Again, Redux to the rescue! I lost back down to 180 pounds. In 1997, we moved cross country to Arkansas. I coached my daughters soccer team for 6 seasons, and then I started putting on weight again. No more Redux, they pulled it from the shelves. I gradually put on weight, and within 10 years, found myself at 324 pounds. I began having problems with my legs, heart, and emotions. I made the decision for Open RNY WLS in June, and had my surgery 8/29/07.
