A New Journey

Hi Nicky , my name is Michelle .... I understand alot of what you are saying . I get my band on April 21st 2011. I'm doing my 6 month diet right now is my ins will pay for surgery. My surgery date can't come fast enough I'm so excited. I weigh 280 right now. Before I got pregnet with my first child I was 105 pounds and thought I was fat little did I know. I was 17 years old at the time. My first child will be 19 in march and my youngest is 5. And after 2 sections and 4 kids well here I am 280 pounds. I've been married 2 times and both ended bad alot to do with my self esteem . I'm in a relationship now of 3 years and my self esteem has gone to crap because the 60 pounds I had lost before I met him I've gained back and I look like a fat cow..... I have let myself down for the very last time. I'm going to get my band and kick ass and get this weight off. If all these other people can do it so can I .... Let's keep in touch and support each other... Talk to u soon .. Michelle

Cincy it is very possible to get to 150.... I know my doctors office patiences have had great success.... I am 280 and that is my goal as well. You can get there if it's what you really want... Good luck girl ......
