I'm 35yrs old. I've been with my husband for 18yrs...married 13. We have 3 beautiful children. I've been over weight for 15yrs after giving birth to my 1st child. My weight has been up and down ever since. I've tried different exercising programs, diets, speeding pills, other diet pills, it comes off but right back on and more. I have a friend and an aunt that's had the Gastric bypass, and they look great. While my friend was going through her surgery and recovery...i was tring my hardest to exercise and to eat right. I was doing a great job. I lost about 10pounds with in a month or so. While I was busting my butt to lose those pounds, my friends weight was melting off. I knew right then that I needed the extra push and look into the different choices in Weight loss surgeries. About two and half yrs. ago I went to my first Seminar. Started the steps that my insurance required for the surgery. 4 months into it. I became pregnant, and it delay everything. During my pregnancy I lost about 25pounds. Being already over weight I didn't want to get any bigger. I ended up with Gestational Diabetes during my last few months of pregnancy. So, I totally watched what I ate. I knew I had too for the baby and for myself. After having my last son, I've gain all the weight back and some. I'm heavier now then I ever been. It's hard for me to get up an get my son when he's into something. I want to be around to see my 3 children grow into adults. I want to be that active soccer mom, playing outside with my kids. I want the back pain to go away. The achey body to stop, I want to feel Beautiful in the clothes I wear, I want to be healthy again!!!!!!
I'm on my 5th month for my insurance requirements...weight management. Dec. will be my 6th month. Then everything will be turned into the insurance. Then I guess it's a waiting game for me.
